Go Fred! At 80, Fred should get comp'ed a full new setup from the vendor(s) of his choice. Scratch that... they should pay Fred for riding their gear!

Fred's official first session as an 80 years old windsurfer. Again, the first one on the water to help us decide the right size of sail to rig today.

Happy Birthday, Happy 81, Happy sailing, Fred!
Today (8/1/2018) marks the first anniversary of Fred being an octogenarian. Don't know what he has been eating, visually, he hasn't aged a day from a year ago.

I'm 75 and just recovered from a total hip replacement. I won't buy green bananas but I just bought a new board for the Bay, so I have to sail for a few more years. Windsurfing is the best thing that ever happened to me, and is still incredibly fun for me. Each time I get on a plane feels like a miracle. BTW: 30 years ago I wrote that piece for American Windsurfer titled " Is Windsurfing Better than Sex?"

Happy Birthday Fred! I’ve never met you, but windsurfing at 81 is so cool. Rock on! What year did Fred start and what was his first board?
