A group for the Pacific Northwest that provides the latest information for the windsurfing scenes in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon, including the Gorge, Seattle, the Coast, the Islands, etc. The newsgroup is geographically limited to sailors who sail in Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and persons in near by states and provinces to keep topic drift at a minimum.
It is best to join through the Yahoo groups web site interface. Before you are allowed to join NW-Windtalk you must fill out a short questionnaire. This questionnaire is a mechanism to prevent spamming of the group by automated programs and to be sure that you actually windsurf in the Pacific Northwest.
