Watching this windsurfer get underway was like seeing a great cicada rise from waves. At first he struggled to right the craft and shake the water from its lone wing. But within seconds, the skillful sailor had successfully courted the breeze and was zipping into the blue. According to the Cayuga Windsurfing Club, the best south winds for beginners and intermediates are at the north end of Seneca Lake in Geneva (where this series of photos was taken). And you needn’t think of windsurfing as a solitary sport. These graceful crafts come in various sizes, including child-sized and tandem (2-person) models.
