Getting Into the Hobby
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:27 pm
Hey guys,
I'm a resident of a small town near American Fork. Closest lake? Utah Lake. I've been trying to seek out new hobbies and with the coming of spring and school coming to an end soon, I think I need to get into it.
I used to live in Southern California, I never got into real surfing; but body boarding was absolutely great. I still have good dreams about 6 foot waves thrashing me around (gently) like a rag doll in my childhood days.
Out of boredom I looked into windsurfing on google. I later came to learn that people actually windsurf places other than the ocean, such as Utah. Now the more I look at this stuff, the more I get excited about it. I just have some questions.
Having no windsurfing equipment whatsoever; I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me everything I need to get started at Utah Lake. If you could even point me in the direction of a "beginner package" of some sort, that would also be great .
Oh yes... I heard something about the UWA owning some sort of spot at Utah Lake to get in. Anyone fimiliar with this?
Thanks guys,
Mike
