The Globe reports that Worthington will play host to the U.S. Windsurfing National Championships on June 11-15. The Windsurfing Regatta and Unvarnished Music Festival will be part of the party. An organizer explains how Worthington cames to host the Daytona of windsurf races for the second time:
. . .Worthington got the nod again because of the quality races that have been run in recent years and the city’s reputation for hospitality.
“I take a ton of pride in the fact that the Worthington Regatta has gone from being an event started by a couple of salesmen who didn’t know a thing about racing to the point we are at today,” he said. “You couple that with the hospitality and hosting skills and the musical aspect, and there is no better race. Nobody else puts the emphasis on the hospitality that we do, and we’re capable of putting on a race that’s as good as any other race in the nation. … We’ve legitimized inland racing as a credible place to have a championship.”
And we thought the wind was only good for generating electricity.
