Have fun at the Northwestern game. Their sailing beach may have a board to rent. I know they give lessons on beginner rigs, not sure if they have any advanced equipment.
There is a group of dedicated windsurfers who launch off Dempster's sailing Beach. It is a short walk South from the NW sailing beach down the bike path. They rent hobbies, sunfish, kayaks off that beach as well, but no windsurfers. Might be more fun there. If the winds are from the Northeast, lake will be in turmoil. Gusty S.W. can be very challenging. Most likely it will be dead. What ever you do, rent something and get about 300 yards out into the lake you get a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline! You cant go wrong.
I'll be in Wisconsin hoping for wind. Go purple! |
Pretty windy today on the Lake... the windsurfers at Northwestern Sailing Center were pretty excited. They don't rent windsurf boards by the day (have to sign up for monthly membership), so the gf and I rented a Hobie Cat which was really fun. Stopped by Dempster Beach first to check it out, but we might have been a little early... only two people there.
