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.

Hurricane Sandy
Sandy has brought some decent winds these past 6 days. The strongest was yesterday and the wind was averaging 40 - 50mph out of the north. Several windsurfers attempted to sail at the causeway. The following photos and video of Brandon were take by William Anzueto. Jon Sailed the South jetty at Ft Pierce inlet. He rigged a 3.0 on a 66L board and he said the wave faces were 20' on the outside. Sorry no photos.
The last set of photos were taken today. The wind was out of the NW at 20 - 30mph. Some sailed the north side of the causeway in a gnarly chop and the rest of us sailed the south side in a smoother but gustier condition.
The hurricane also brought a lot of our northern sailors as well. Over the past week I have seen: Henry, Jerry, Norman, Big Bill, Cape Cod Dave, Jon and Clark.
