The same winds that fan the palm trees and cool down the summer days are making the Island a new destination for the growing population of windsurfers. Offering four distinct water and wind conditions that challenge beginners to pros, children to adults, the Island now boasts the fastest speed records on a 100-meter course in the States for both men and women. Lessons and boards are available at local shops. Waverunners, hobie cats, and jet skis are available Bayside. Or, for a bird's-eye view of the Island, try parasailing. For the less adventuresome, or small children, there are paddleboats and bumper boats. Click here for info about 2006 Ruffrider Regatta
