Last summer my husband and son took wind surfing lessons.  They were hooked when we stayed on the Leeward (or is it Wind-ward?) side of Maui in Kihei.  Every afternoon the Kite-boarders, kite-surfers and wind-surfers would give a great show.  When we returned, they had to take lessons and did through the Seattle Parks and Recreation on Lake Washington.  They were happy to report after just one lesson... WE GOT UP!!!  Not much wind so they didn't go very far, but they got up...With the summer approaching, last April the family took a ‘scouting' trip to Hood River Oregon.  A Wind Surfing Paradise during the summer.  With the waters of the Columbia River too cold, the weather not nearly warm enough, and the winds not strong enough (yet), we ended up sight-seeing.  We stayed in Cascade Lock... 09/28/2007
