Avon, Cape Hatteras, NC: More than 100 windsurf racers; 2 long distance races to the reef and back - 20 km per race, 40 km total. Support from two local shops and many sponsors. Lots of smiling faces. A great day for windsurfing in the US.
I've been windsurfing for more than 30 years, although this includes several multi-year periods where I did not windsurf at all. I got really hooked again a few years ago, after getting married to my lovely windsurfing wife, and starting to take ABK clinics. We mainly surf on Cape Cod, with regular trips to places all over the world.
I have a Ph.D. in Biology, and have worked in the biomedical field for more than three decades. This include postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School, leading a research group at a biotech company, and starting a company that develops software for biomedical research.
