  • Section Vii Public Access Policies #19-20 & Recreation
    SECTION VII PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES #19-20 & RECREATION POLICIES #9, #21 & 22 Town of East Hampton LWRP Public Access and Recreation Policies #9 &19-22 A. INTRODUCTION Public access to the water and the recreation activity it affords is critical to East Hampton Town's resort economy. The tourist, second home and real estate industries stem directly from the attractions of coastal recreation, which takes place on public beaches and in public waters. Fishing, boating and the myriad of other activities are supported by an array of local enterprises, marina and charter boat operations, boat rentals, fishing tackle and sporting goods shops, which depend on the ecology, natural bounty and scenic beauty of public coastal resources. Maintaining water quality, fisheries productivity, beaches, wetlands, etc. are vital not only for the intrinsic value of the resources, but also for their ripple effect through the economy. The value of public access and coastal recreation goes beyond their economic worth -- it is the primary incentive for visiting and living in East Hampton. Coastal based recreation goes on in every reach of the Town's coastal zone, from passive, non- consumptive pastimes like photography and nature walks, to active, consumptive uses like fishing and hunting. The coast is not only a setting for active recreation, the harmony of nature and vistas of open space are themselves re-creation and relaxation for the mind, healing balm for the frenetic pace of life. The sea and its proximity, the inlets, bays, beaches and marshes attract the eye with unbroken expanses, infusing the spirit. While this LWRP section examines public access and recreational infrastructure, it is important to recall the visual and scenic context of these facilities and their tangible benefits to quality of life.

  • (ISAF) President Mr Göran Petersson and All AGM Board Members to All
    INTERNATIONAL SAILING FEDERATION (ISAF) President Mr Göran Petersson and all AGM Board Members To all Board Members present at the 2012 ISAF Annual Conference on 10.11.2012 - please distribute - Munich, 24. September 2012 Dear Sirs, Being a community of interest on behalf of windsurfing, World of Windsurfing (WOW) is very concerned about the possible dropping of windsurfing in favor of kite surfing at the Olympics in 2016, which is why we are addressing you today. World of Windsurfing e. V. (www.worldofwindsurfing.org) was founded by the most important stakeholders of the windsurfing business in January 2007 as a non-profit association under German law. The association is politically and denominationally neutral and independent from any individual interests of its members. On behalf of its members (associations, special interest media, brands, travel companies, suppliers, OEMs etc.), WOW operates internationally in the fields of market research, communication, public relations, online marketing and event management. These are WOW’s current members: Cobra International, JP-Australia, Neil Pryde, Starboard, Fanatic, North Sails, surf Magazin, surf & action company, Club Mistral and F2 Boards. WOW’s goal is to strengthen windsurfing in any possible way and to raise awareness and popularity of the sport especially amongst the non-windsurfing-community (or not-yet-windsurfing-community, as we see it). There are various reasons that speak for Windsurfing remaining an Olympic discipline. Windsurfing is an easy-access sport: for youngsters, for women, for nations with little sport promotion funds or people with no access to these. Its disappearance from the Olympic Games would be a kickback for the overall perception of sailing sports.

  • Clyde Aikau 1 Lss 221 (Length: 26:16) First Air Date: 5/12/09
    GUEST: CLYDE AIKAU 1 LSS 221 (LENGTH: 26:16) FIRST AIR DATE: 5/12/09 Next, meet a surfing legend. He’s a man who grew up in a Chinese cemetery, won big time surfing contests, sailed on the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokulea, and saved lives as a Waimea Bay lifeguard. He’s a surfing legend. He’s Clyde Aikau, Eddie Aikau’s younger brother. Aloha mai kakou, I’m Leslie Wilcox. Welcome to the first edition of a special two part series of “Long Story Short.” Many know of Eddie Aikau, a waterman who was the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay, a big wave surfer who was lost at sea while attempting to save the crew of the Hokulea in 1978. But in the world of surfing, his brother Clyde Aikau is also renowned. He has won at Makaha, at the old Duke event on the North Shore, and the Eddie Aikau at Waimea. The Duke Kahanamoku Foundation named him a “Waikiki surfing legend.” In the Spring of 2009, Clyde is 59, and he’s not slowing down. He stopped long enough to talk with me about big waves, family and living at the graveyard in Pauoa. When we um, first had the opportunity to um, have a house in the—in the graveyard, um, the deal was that we have to clean … clean the graveyard and cut the grass, and maintain the entire um, graveyard. And um, in 1959, we had to cut the grass with sickles it’s kinda like a wooden handle so far, with a— with a—with a half-moon blade.

  • Maui Monthly | Our Experience Your Reward No
    MauiOur ExperienceMonthly Your Reward no. 0. January 2006 Maui, Hawaiian Islands Great month for Windsurfing. The month of January has been a great month for windsurfing here on Maui. For me, January is the best month to be on Maui, because it is full of wind, waves, sun, and the crowds all seem to disappear. We have had countless days of Hookipa nearly vacant with perfect 6 to 0 feet waves rolling though with plenty of wind, and only a couple of people out on the water. It has been so windy that I don’t think that I have been surfing once this month and that is not bad for January. I have been able to get out on some of the new sails and they are shaping up really nicely. One of the things that I am most excited about is the new Maui Sails aluminum booms that are out. They are the best aluminum booms I have seen in a long time and I don’t say that lightly. Finally there is a boom that has an amazing front end on it with the right bend curve. Other than that I have just been enjoying Maui and hanging out with friends. See you on the water! Aloha, Kevin. Why not start the year from windsurfing? Wazup everybody! I started this year with windsurfing! On the first day of January the wind was blowing good so I thought to myself, ”why not start the year windsurfing”! And I had a great session. Soon after the wind died for a week or so, but in the mean time we have had unbelievably big waves.
