Important Stuff you might want to know:

The ECWF is all about having fun.  For this reason there will be no wind minimum for any of the events.  As long as there is enough wind to move a windsurfer forward we’re competing.  It’s much more fun getting out there and doing something than sitting around waiting for wind.   Since there is a potential for running races in light wind, bring everything.  We could get 5 mph or we could get 35 mph.  Whatever the wind does, we’ll be ready for it.

Checkin will start at 9:00 am on Saturday June 6th at the judges stand on the right hand side of the parking lot when you’re looking at the water.  The first Races and freestyle heats are expected to run around noon on Saturday, so make sure you’re rigged, sails are numbered and you’re ready to race by noon.  Depending on the amount of people we get competing, we may keep the competition running into the evening.  We need to get off enough rounds of racing and freestyle to pick a winner, so plan on spending lots of time on the water. We’ll continue with the same deal on Sunday.

When you’re not racing, feel free to go sail, but be aware that we might not have time to wait for you if you’re out on the water when your heat is supposed to start.  Just check in with anyone at the judges stand to see what’s going on or if you have any questions.

Important Stuff you might want to Bring:

- Money -  There is a charge of 6 or 7 bucks to get into the park at the toll booth.

-Weed fin - The beginning of June is when those weeds decide to start appearing.  Sometimes you can get by without one, but it could just make the difference.

-Sun Block - I forgot mine last year and got burnt to a crisp.

-Food and Drink - There is nowhere in the park to buy food or beverages so bring what you’ll need for the day

1. -Toilet Paper -  There I said it.  The bathrooms at the boat ramp will be open but you never know if they’ll have what you need when you really need it.
   

1. -Duct tape - it has a million uses so you might as well bring some.  Whether you need to put numbers on your sail, protect your body parts from getting blisters from the tons of sailing you’ll be doing or maybe your sail could get hit by one of Caesar’s  30 foot sail tosses, you might just need some duct tape.
   

- Your family and friends - everyone else’s will be there, so bring yours along too.
