Wind Power Windsurfing & Kiting Center is proud to announce the return of its UN-REGATTA to be held at the center in Fond du lac, WI on August 21st & 22nd. This family oriented FUN regatta for kids will be host to both windsurfing and O’Pen Bic sailing with 2 days full of course racing, slalom racing, and freestyle time! The great part about this event is that everyone walks away a winner!
The weekend begins with FREE registration from 10-11am on Saturday with racing beginning at noon and going until 4pm; Sunday will have a 10 am start with more racing and freestyle opportunities through the morning and into the early afternoon. Wind Power welcomes families to take advantage of the free camping available in its own backyard; come hungry and enjoy a beautiful sunset and good food at the friendly neighborhood Sunset Supper Club just across the road from Wind Power.
