Shell Point Sailboard Club (SPSC)

Don't forget club meeting tonight, Tuesday, 7/9, at District 850, 7pm though I recommend getting there early to get something to eat. We will show videos on and discuss water rights of way and the right of way rules of racing. Just because the power boats and jet skis don't care about other watercraft doesn't mean we have to be like them. Come on out and learn.

Ever thought about windsurfing but was afraid to try it? So was I ! 🤣 🤙.

Snoopy would agree it was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made.

The 2024 Stephen C. Smith Memorial Regatta benefitting the American Cancer Society is a wrap! Excellent work done by ALL! Members of the Smith Foundation as well as the 2024 event chair, Andrea Bennett, presented this year’s contribution of $35,000 to Ms. Anne Taylor, the American Cancer Society regional representative.

Thank you all who helped to make this year’s event one of the best!!!❤️🤙

Happy Father’s Day to all you windsurfing Dads❤️🤙

Our club meeting tomorrow, 6/11/2024, starting at 7pm at District 850, will include not one but TWO methods/presentations of putting a new gasket on your sailboard without having to buy one of those premade ones for over $50. Though we won't be doing a gasket replacement there, we will be showing you all the materials needed. This is a not to be missed event as you can practically TASTE the excitement!

We also have a new lug nut recipient, so hopefully the previous recipient can be there to present it.

There is so much going on, you should get there a bit early, order some food and drink, and enjoy!

Second (actually, this will be the first) summer series race is this Sunday, 6/9, starting at 2pm. Sadly, the first race was cancelled because a nasty electrical storm decided to sit within a 10 mile radius to the west of us. We had about 10 racers chomping at the bit to get on the water and a new member who came down to spectate!

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us Sunday and I know it will be really hot in Tallahassee which should bring up a nice sea breeze around 2pm. The racing is for fun, though many are wanting the $1 cash prize for finishing first when the series is done. We have the magic starter box and Wright sets up some fun race courses.

CU at the beach!

The Shell Point Sailboard Club summer series of racing is about to start and we are starting off with a BANG!

First race is June 2 and second is June 9, after that check our events calendar (https://www.20knotsnob.com/events) for the rest of the year. Racing starts at 2pm and concludes somewhere around 4pm.

Your race captain is Mr. Finney.

Honoring their memory today on Memorial Day and everyday❤️🤙🇺🇸

Donate to Support Grassroots School's Recovery, organized by Ryan Johnson Grassroots Free School, founded in 1972 by Pat Seery and A.S. Neill, is a non-profit… Ryan Johnson needs your support for Support Grassroots School's Recovery

Good morning, esteemed club members.

Many of us hold the Grassroots school nearly to and dearly in our hearts. It has served many a child and family as both a neighbor and an educational resource.

Folks, this school has also opened its doors to our house band, Swami and the festoons, and allowed us to rehearse in preparation for the annual Wind Ceremony. FESTOONS!!

We received word that the grassroots community was in the direct path of the tornado last Friday and sustained catastrophic damage. So much that it has derailed efforts for Summer school that now leaves many kiddos with no opportunities for the Summer.

Below is the gofundme link and additional details. I wanted to share this with all because we as a club have consistently stepped up to support those in need so many times over the years.

Please help and share if you are able.

Thanks everyone.
