Could you imagine how HUGE our sport would be if we could do that? I think of all the times our family drove for hours and hours chasing wind only to show up and hear the infamous line, \"you should have been here yesterday!\" With the way technology is going, maybe one day we will get a windsurfing park with some kind of naturally funneled wind that sets up side-shore to whatever size waves you want. Yeah yeah yeah.... it is free to dream. I guess that is what makes windsurfing so special, the challenge and the chase. Windsurfing weeds out the weak and strengthens the strong! To all of you badass windsurfing boys and girls, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>Here is some eye candy from the last couple weeks.....
