Keswick Windsurfing - Thanksgiving Weekend 2012
Unfortuneatly my camera didnt have much batteries so i couldnt film as much as Id hoped. But here is a rough edit with no sound of what i got. Most guys were on 5.5. I only had a 7.0 so was totally overpowered and only went out in the couple lulls.
USA: CALIFORNIA: WINDSURFER PAGER SERVICE
English/Nat
It's one of the biggest bummers a windsurfer can face: You head to the beach, but the wind is too bogus to surf.
Now, thanks to a California man, gnarly breezes need only be a page away.
Windsurfing...it's becoming one of the most popular sports in America.
A swift breeze. Some tasty waves. It's all a windsurfer needs.
But sometimes a lack of breeze can leave a windsurfer high and dry.
Jim Martin was one of those windsurfers. Tiring of searching for the best breezes for surfing, he decided to do something about it.
SOUNDBITE:
Ah, I would lose two, three, four hours a day. Ten hours a week from work, searching and looking for wind. So at that point in time I said I gotta come up with a system that simply is going to call me the minute it gets windy.
SUPER CAPTION: Jim Martin, Windsurfer
Martin started a company called Call of the Wind.'' He placed wind gauges at beaches up and down the California coast.
When the sea breezes at the beach reach optimum conditions, Martin and his windsurfing clientele get beeped by their pagers.
SOUNDBITE:
Ah, right there we've already gotten a page from one of my locations where it's blowing.
SUPER CAPTION: Jim Martin Call of the Wind founder
The pagers give out wind condition information at the 14 beaches Call of the Wind covers.
Now Martin says, no windsurfer needs to ever go looking for the best breeze at the beach.
SOUNDBITE:
This will keep them from having to search for the wind, make phone calls to, ah, go to the beach and sit there and get skunked.
SUPER CAPTION: Jim Martin Call of the Wind Founder
California is known for it's gnarly waves and radical surfing. No surprise that business at Call of the Wind is booming.
SOUNDBITE:
Well, every single day we sell another unit. 2, 3, 4, 5 a day. As, ah, we've been around for two years now and not one single person has relinquished their service because they didn't like it. We've had a few people move out of the state. But, ah, once you've got it, you're hooked.
SUPER CAPTION: Jim Martin
On the surf crazy-beaches of southern California, it's not hard to find a client of Martin's.
These surfers only hope their bosses don't find out where they are.
SOUNDBITE:
As soon as it started paging, I left during my prep period at school and, um, came down here to go sailing.
SUPER CAPTION: Debbie Thomas Schoolteacher/Windsurfer
SOUNDBITE:
And no matter where I am in the county, or what I'm doing, or what time of day I know exactly what's going on. And then I can
say, 'Well, gosh, I get ready to go to the lumber yard, and I can come down here and sail.
SUPER CAPTION: Turner Clark (Contractor/Windsurfer)
With Call of the Wind, windsurfers can't be guaranteed an endless summer, but at least they'll know where the breezes are.
