Whatever happened to the Windsurfers???

Question

I started windsurfing almost 20 years ago and now the stores and boardheads are almost gone. Where did they go? WHY?

For example, my local lake was always busy with a dozen or two boardheads on the weekends. Today, I was the only one there.

Answer 1

They are all out at the Columbia River Gorge.  You can barely get a boat through there are so many windsurfers and kiteboarders out there.

Answer 2

Kitesurfing came along.

Answer 3

i have no idea but i feel your pain, i've only been doing it for 5 years, but no one i know does and it makes it very lonley!  maybe it's because its really expensive to buy all the stuff.

Answer 4

body boarding took over i think..its easier and cheaper
