Windy Spring Day at Van Pugh

Posted: April 27, 2020 by webguy

A cool and windy late April day brings out a crowd to Van Pugh Park on Lake Lanier (4/26/20). Old faces, new faces and even a new sport as our first wingfoiler left the confines of earth and flew on the foil! Photos by Chris Voith. Additional photos by Barrett Walker and Gary Holt
