As the weather turns cooler, our local and regional windsurfing season heats up. Not only is there the promise of more wind but there are a number of regional events including our Fall Classic. Some events are billed as races or regattas but you don't have to be a racer to enjoy things. Hang out with a bunch of other windsurfers, eat, drink and share the good vibe.

Sept 12-15 Hatteras Wave Jam 2012: American Windsurfing Tour East Coast Stop. This is a major league professional event in our own backyard. There will also be special events including clinics.

Sept. 29 - 30 Shell Point Sailboard Club, Tallahassee, Fl Endless Summer Regatta. A party masquerading as a regatta but the racing is top notch. A fun place to windsurf even if you aren't racing.

Oct. 6 St. Johns Long Distance "Race", Jacksonville, FL. "No trophies or fees. We're sailing and we may happen to decide to sail together to a point and back." A great chance to explore a sailing spot most of us just drive over.

Oct. 19-21 The 34th Annual Fall Classic. The Atlanta Boardsailing Club's own regatta/fun weekend hosted by Chris Voith and the Lake Lanier Sailing Club. Details will be up shortly. It begins with folks arriving Friday night, racing Saturday and Sunday and a killer dinner Saturday night. Camping is available if you want to hang out all weekend without driving back and forth. 34th Annual - still blows my mind.
