Even though it is now officially winter and skimming over the water in warm summer breezes seems too far in the future to imagine, planning the 2010 CMWA Championships in Dryden is in full swing. 

This is a reminder that the event will take place in Dryden on August 6 to 8, 2010. It is important to note that the dates are a departure from the normal timing of our event in that they do not include the Civic Holiday Monday which occurs on August 2^nd. Make your travel plans early to avoid the region’s summer holidayers and those planning to be in Dryden for the Centennial festivities.

Check here regularly for updates on the event.

All the best in 2010 and I hope to see you in Dryden.

Those who travelled to Caraquet were not disappointed. The venue was perfect, the hospitality outstanding, the meals delicious and the wind was present. We even had some slalom races! Results are posted in the Results page. Thank you to all the organizers and sponsors. Congratulations to five Canadian juniors who travelled to Chatham, Mass for the East Coast Jr. Championship and did very well. See their results at www.windsurf.ca/results.

Now booking accommodation for the CMWA 2009 Championship in Caraquet, New Brunswick. Don’t delay as there is limited availability of rooms located right at the race site (camping also available not far), so book early to avoid disappointment. The CMWA Championship race offers recognition for all ages of windsurfers, from youth to Olympian, from beginner to pro. Please join us at this stunning oceanside location for three full days of racing and fun. The town’s activities that weekend even include fireworks! Follow the link under Event on the right to find out more information.

CMWA Spring 2008 Newsletter 

Contains stories and information about upcoming events.

Another windsurfing season is beginning. Steph and I have been lucky enough to do our first days of sailing in the warm waters and winds of Bonaire.

Very quickly CMWA activities commence in late May with the Spring Clinic and Get-Together at the Burgess Cottages in Port Bolster on beautiful Lake Simcoe. As usual, it will give those of us who haven’t been on the water yet a chance to and wash the cobwebs off our equipment, tune up for the summer and share in some fun with good friends.

As you’ve seen in the Fall issue of Masters Matters, there are several activities in June to participate in. The highlight of the summer will be the CMWA Championships in St Anicet, Quebec from August 1-4. This is going to be an exciting time because we will be sharing the venue with a Quebec windsurfing event and bringing a large group of windsurfers together. Please plan to come to St Anicet.

See you on the water!!
