I had to do my windsurf instructor recertification on the May long weekend and a complete blog post about that is on the Launchpad blog.

It was bittersweet to do my last session on my Kona in Toronto outer harbour. I had so many great Wednesday nights windsurf racing, eating burgers and enjoying the camaraderie at TWC. As the Kona was languishing up in Collingwood and I was pleased to find someone (Alexa) who is excited to put it to regular use again. Many thanks to Jennifer for connecting us. She is also the president of TWC and a very enthusiastic supporter of sailing in Toronto. SailGP coming to Toronto in 2027?

It was super fun being out on the water doing the drills for the windsurfer instruction course. I was out for almost 2 hours in the gusty northeast wind. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have spent so much time on the longboard sailing up and downwind, doing 360s and practising my duck tacks.

But with a bunch of other students it was fun and good exercise. I drove back to Collingwood feeling great about my visit to Toronto.
