Marc Rosen, who is a representative for HiFly Boards and Ezzy Sails is putting on an event this Saturday at the Hammerman Area of Gunpowder Falls State Park. The launch is a popular venue for members of BABA, the Baltimore Area Boardsailing Association. BABA is mostly made of up of aging boomers, but there is a growing younger contingent, and even the geezers still know how to have fun. Marc Rosen is on the right in this pic from last year's event.
Marc is a funny guy. Here's his announcement for the event:
Burnt Weeny Sandwich and Baked Bean Boogie!

I'm going to be there, and US Olympic hopeful Farrah Hall is going to be there, too, showing off on the RS:X board or maybe shredding on a shortboard.
Here's directions to the Hammerman Area: From I-95 take exit 67A for Route 43 east (White Marsh Boulevard). Follow 43 to route 40 east. Turn right at the first light onto Ebenezer Road and follow it for 4.5 miles. The park entrance will be on your left.
I might make it out -- but the weather isn't looking too promising... Gunpowder is a good spot, except for the 1 mile walk from the parking lot...
ReplyDeleteDude, you should totally come. I checked the iwindsurf forecast and it's supposed to be warmish with more than 15 knots wind.
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome, but that's the day A leaves for Italy. Dang!
Dude, why is there no link for Mothers of Invention? There has to be something funny. Try Muffin Man. Don't know if it's a Mothers song, but the kids loved it.
ReplyDeleteMatt- Yo, I hotlinked it to something on youtube.
ReplyDeleteso you're definitely out?
ReplyDeleteIf the event is ON, I'll be there. Otherwise I'll be sailing in the rain somewhere near Annapolis. My cell = 804-695-4068
