Are there any members near by? Just wanting to see how many. Would be nice to find some locals and possible put together a meet. Maybe someone to swap gear and or music with? Would be nice to hear some other systems.

?????
Thanks Christopher

    Three hours SW of you on West Coast (Sarasota). Merritt is a beautiful place. We've visited there and Melbourne in the past.

    I bet you get some excellent views of NASA/SpaceX launches.

    Very near!

    I visited and toured Cape Canaveral last September, and enjoyed the Kennedy Space Center. I think I have the names right. Anyway, I live in CA, so can’t make it. :)

    Yes, the Space Center is great. Really cool to see the Shuttle Atlantis up close.

    What part of Cali? I was born in Pomona and grew up in Barstow.

    I've been privileged to see launches twice while windsurfing off Merritt Island. Would very much enjoy combining a sailing and audio meet there!

    Perhaps you could show me how to paddleboard. I have a pb paddle and a large sailboard I've planned to try, but haven't yet. I'm sure it's inefficient as a paddleboard at 90 cm wide and 170 liter volume, but should be very stable for a beginner. :smile:

    That might be a bit small. For scale thats a standard 3 iron next to the paddle. I think my boards are 11'6".

    It's 8.4 feet long but 3 feet wide and thicker than most paddleboards. Plenty of flotation for me at 170 liters. I think the extra width would make it slow though.
