Hey Local sailor.
I meet Dan at Sugarbush skiing on Tuesday. He live in the Burlington, VT area and would like to get back into Windsurfing.
Was Wondering if anyone had so decent beginner-ish  equipment kicking around in the garage that he could use? Post here if you have any. it would be great to have him enjoy your gear as much as you did when you sailed on it.
