Brian,

I noticed the winds are going to be 15-25k (which is ideal for me).
I noticed a windsurfer out two weekends ago and have been debating
this. I think I will try but stick close to shore and keep the
session to about two hours or just head in when I feel cold. Thanks
for the advice. I'm assuming the air temp will be mid 50s to 60 and
the water will be in the 40s to 50s.
