Langdon and I were done there last March. They'd just busted through the wall of the space next door to expand and had a bunch of new gear still in boxes. Glad it worked out for them. They are tireless promoters of the sport as well as their business. Britt spends a lot of time and gives a lot of support to the whole Clearwater youth group that is part of the next windsurfing wave. They've both done a lot of work with US Windsurfing as well.
I'm also mindful of those in businesses not so fortunate and hope that we, collectively, find the means to support them and their families. It's going to be a challenging winter.
I'm wondering if their business is thriving because of the foiling craze or because people have decided wind/water sports are a fairly safe cure for cabin fever. One thing I have noticed - WS shops seem to be (or at least have been) sold out on a lot of boards, sails etc. Could be logistical problems or manufacturing delays, but I'm not sure.

Both. Foils and wing foils have been good business this year (just a guess on my part) but outdoor items all did well this year. You couldn't find a bike at a lot of bike shops this summer. Of course, some of it was supply issues but demand was through the roof. It was reflected in the used market as people were asking $3-400 for an old bike that might have gone for $100-150 last year. Some of the bike issues was that in many cities, bikes were being used in lieu of public transport.
