With hardly a white cap in sight for weeks, I've turned to scanning some old slides, and came across these photos from 1986 in the early years of windsurfing.
1 - Orignial windsurfers at Key Biscayne early in the year.
2 - My son, Evan, teaching windsurfing at Brian's shop near Lake Lanier. Evan was 15 at the time and was a "BIG certified sailing instructor".
3 - Windsurfing Lake Lanier as RAF sails & footstraps energize the sport.

Is that minivan in from of the sail shop in the 2nd photo one you used to drive? Looks familiar.
What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.
That board on the beach looks like it's infested with footstraps. The 80s: when shorts were short and socks were shorter.

Great pics. My first sail was a 1991 NP RAF CAM Dynamic. It had one removable cam on it. That was pretty high tech compared to some of these!
I envy you. My rig in '91 was a Hifly 4 batten RAF. I'm convinced the battens were made of pasta. It was a pretty purple and white, though. I didn't know any better.
