It is called, "Rocky Mountain Windsurfing & Kiteboarding". There will be 3 administrators for this site and they are: Andy Spellman, Sammi Igarashi, and I. We may try to pick up a 4th administrator for this site and that would be someone who is really in tune with the kiteboarding scene. Dr. Chuck and I have discussed the possible problem of "splintering of communication" with this move and I certainly hope that doesn't happen. It is my intent to make this site as informative as the Google site (this group I am presently writing to) on upcoming windsurfing events. At the conclusion of this upcoming sailing season (sometime in December), I will make a determination whether to continue on with this Facebook site or shut it down. Like I've said all along, this site has a lot more bells and whistles to offer, and I hope it goes gangbusters (smile).
