US Windsurfing Nationals!

There is a big junior fleet here at Nationals with tons of racing in both Slalom and Formula and T293 course racing.  Jay Watermeyer dominated in the junior class in slalom after two days of super windy, 25-35 mph (with higher gusts), classic gorge conditions.  Marion Lepert finished fifth in slalom out of the juniors, first junior woman and also first out of the women of any age!  After one day of course racing, Chris Gardiner and Cullen Ahearn are sailing super quick - with Cullen having the edge when not plagued with fins breaking off or mental errors (nooooo........don't sail the wrong course!).
