Windsurfing
In my teen years I was an avid windsurfer obsessed with watching flags and tree branches for signs of wind. The height of my participation was in grade 12 when I went to Cape Hatteras for a week during March break. After that my interest somehow waned and I drifted away from the sport.
In 2005 I happily rediscovered it and for 2006 I bought a new board to allow me to really enjoy the lake at the cottage. I am upgrading my equipment and a new sail is next.
