Whats Happing in the World of WindDude – February

It has been a busy little while, been starting my own webdesign company Gnarly Inc.  But things have been going well, and I’m hoping to bring exciting changes to the online windsurfing community, with the WindDude site and a project that will remain top secret for now!!  Check Back for more on that soon!!  Also been working with a friend on a new and cutting edge site for the Manitoba Windsurfing Club, that should be live by spring!!

As you can see we have a new layout on the site, but expect more changes coming over the next few weeks, and months.  Including a video section, more recent updates, room for advertisers and some of my own creations!  The next big change you can expect to see is a new logo!

It has been awhile but I’m super stoked for March I’m going to be participating in Windsurfing Mags Live Board Test, thanks to editor of Windsurfing Mag Josh!! Whoohoo, I can’t wait.  The preliminary plan is to drive down to Hatteras mid March, participate in the first week of board testing, than stay down and ride until Mid-April.  Let me know if you are down in the area at the time and we’ll go for a RIP on the water!

Enjoy, and keep riding,
