Windsurfing in Fort Lauderdale at South Beach |
||||
| Despite what you might have heard, windsurfing in Fort Lauderdale South beach is still very much alive and well. |
|
|||
| The advent of the Formula Board has dropped the planing threshold to under 10 knots and the core group of Fort Lauderdale windsurfers can be seen blazing by with barely a ripple on the waters surface. Of course, when the wind picks up every one grabs their wave gear and heads up to 16th St pompano for a serious wave session in some of the best conditions in the South East. | ||||
