Ten for the Board, Ten for the Sail; Hang Twenty For many years sailing has been a favorite pastime of students at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. The Lake Men- dota setting and easy access to the over 90 sailboats owned by the Hooferis Outing Club has encouraged many stu- dents to try this energy-saving sport. In the spring of 1979 the members of Hoofers were treated to a different form of sailing; windsurfing. Known in some circles as sailing in its purest form, windsurfingis popularity on cam- pus has soared. This past summer, stu- dents waited in long lines to use the Windsurfers, which were loaned for only an hour at a time to maximize availability. Hoofers have six Windsurfers, one Windsurfer Star and one simulator board for lessons on land. A Windsur- fer consists of a 12 foot long hull much like that of a surfboard. Anchored on top of the board is a 14-foot mast with a 56-square-foot dacron sail. Attached to this is a 9 foot long boom, which when used in combination with the stern fin, allows the sailor to manipu- late wind power. To use a Windsurfer, one must belong to the Hoofer Sailing Club and M. Bowers by Paul Grinde must earn a light weather tech rating. This rating certifies the sailors basic sailing knowledge. After fulfilling the required prerequisites, students usually head out to the piers in search of some- one to give them lessons on how to Windsurf. Once the certified instructor feels the student can safely go on his own, the Hoofers card is stamped and the student is free to try his luck on the lake. According to many people who have tried the sport, it can be a frightening experience to find oneself drifting too far away from shore. However, there is usually little need to worry as someone is always patrolling the lake when ves- sels are out. Windsurfing has become another one of the refreshing study breaks that students are always looking for. Even rookies need not have a great deal of strength or a wide background in sail- ing to enjoy the sport. With a little courage, determination and a lot of work, the excitement of windsurfing is accessible to all.
