Alexandre Dumond, the youth development
link for Windsurfing Canada is working on development and an official
structure for students and coaches (like the CYA sailing levels). He's
also managed to score a sweet prize that will be awarded to the fastest
windsurfer on the Ottawa River!
Got speed? The
inaugural KA Windsurfing Speed
Challenge
is on and you don't even need to own your own
GPS. If you windsurf in Ottawa simply stop by the Nepean Sailing School,
pick up one of our GPS units and hit the water! You and and a buddy who
can confirm the speed will each send a confirmation email to
