The Atlanta Boardsailing Club was organized in 1978 and is one of the oldest in the country. We have 'boardsailing' instead of windsurfing in our name because back at the club's origination, Windsurfer and Windsurfing were still trademarks of company that produced the original Windsurfer.

Over the years the membership has ranged from 80-150 members located in Atlanta and across the Southeast. Because of the internet, we've evolved more into an on line community, gathering at our forums when we aren't windsurfing at various lakes and beaches. Hang out with us here or at your local shore. A lot of us having been doing this along time but none of us have forgotten what it was like starting off. There is no attitude, here. We're happy to share information and tips and love to see new faces in the neighborhood.

If you haven't windsurfed in a long time or ever, rest assured, it's a lot easier than it was in the old days. Lightwind and beginner boards are much more stable and the sails much easier to handle. Also, manufacturers have developed rigs for women and children so you don't have to be Mr. Muscles to windsurf. Kids as young as 6 or 7 (or even younger) can windsurf with the proper equipment.
