How Bay Windsurfing taught advanced windsurfing in the 1980s.

We ran events. The entrants taught themselves.

It worked. 3 of the people who participated our events were selected to participate in Olympic Competitions: Kimberly Birkenfeld, Jessica Crisp, and Ted Huang.

Ted Huang started his racing career in our events and participated in two Olympics. Jessica Crisp sailed in the 2012 Olympics, her fourth Olympics.

Here are some of our documents from the days when we ran events designed to raise the skills of all the participants:
