The Treasure Coast spans the east coast of Florida roughly from Jupiter to Vero Beach. It derives it's name from a Spanish treasure fleet that was lost during a hurricane in 1715. Their are a lot of great windsurfing spots on the Treasure Coast but this blog focuses mainly on the Indian River from Stuart to Jensen Beach.

The wind was cranking!
I arrived at the causeway around noon and the sun was out and the wind was blowing. The usual suspects were there, plus Dave from Michigan. James had been sailing for a while and had rigged from a 7 down to a 5 something, he said it was building. I rigged a 5.2 and put it on the bic and headed for the channel. I needed the 118L to get me to the channel but wished I was on the 88L once out in the wind line. Fortunately the sand bar on the east side of the channel was cutting down the chop which made for a fast exciting ride. I just wished I had brought the gps and a smaller fin.
