Josh's Summer Job
Josh giving a thumbs up!
Our oldest son Josh just returned from a week in Toronto after completing his course to become a certified windsurf instructor! He had a full program spending time with Guin, Allen and Cary when he wasn't at the club. Josh will put his leadership talents to good use this summer as he has secured an "Assistant Windsurfing Instuctor's" position at Toronto Windsurfing Club. Of course we owe a great deal of gratitude to Tom Mae who has given Josh this wonderful summer employment opportunity. Thanks again Tom! Tom (second from left) is in charge of the Learn to Windsurf Progam at TWC. Josh's enthusiasm for windsurfing since his Toronto trip has suprised us as parents, and we are stoked he's showing us 'how it's done' on the water! Great stuff!!
Have fun in life

Way to go Josh! Congrats again! You will have a blast this summer in Toronto! It shows you that great team effort made it happen for you. Our support (always), Guin and Alan who took you under their wings and Tom Mae who gave you this great opportunity.

Way to Go Josh! I hope your having better weather than we are. The weather has turned crappy here again with more rain in sight. Not good for Instructing.

Awesome Josh, can't wait to see you cover (and blow by) your dad on the startline at the regattas in the future. Can't wait to try chase you down out there to try keep up with you on the water, great deal.

By the way, we are probably coming to Canada for the Moose Regatta, leaving DSM Thursday night and staying until Wednesday the 4th, can me and my "friend" have the Blu moose or is it booked already?
