John Lynch ► Mark Bancroft DDS Mark.....check the Mackiteboarding.com web-site under the info heading and local riding spots. They have a detailed description and aerial photo of the launch. Forecast not the best for Muskegon this weekend but LSP should do its thing on Sunday.

Mark Bancroft DDS I'll be in Muskegon, Michigan this weekend. Anyone know what beaches allow windsurfing in Muskegon?

Mark Bancroft DDS Thanks to John Lynch for the tip on Little Sable.

Mark Bancroft DDS Ended up at Little Sable Point, MI. Wind picked up at 3 pm. for a fun session with my 7.5 on Mistral Energy 140. Practiced carving jibes, carved a couple, crashed a couple more. Need more time on the water to cut down on the crashing part.
