Press Release: US Windsurfing cancels 2012 Nationals

The Following was posted on the US Windsurfing Facebook page under an hour ago:

US Windsurfing regrets to inform you that the 2012 US Windsurfing Nationals in Hood River will NOT be taking place. A variety of organizational issues has lead us to make this difficult decision. Rather than continuing to struggle to pull together a poorly organized event, we decided that it would be best to cancel the event far enough in advance for travel plans to be adjusted. We deeply regret the inconvenience and trouble that this will cause to the people who have already made unchangeable arrangements to attend. At least you still be in a fantastic place for windsurfing at a great time of year. The Formula windsurfing National champion will instead be crowned during the Formula Windsurfing North American Championships that are being held in San Francisco from July 19-22. We also encourage you to attend the American Windsurfing Tour San Carlos Cactus Cup wave event which will be held from July 28-August 4 in Baja, Mexico. Planning is underway for the 2013 US Windsurfing Nationals, we will announce the location soon. Thank you all for your membership and support of windsurfing events in the United States.
