I thought the windsurfer capital is on the inland side of Cape Hatteras
National Seashore.  Windsurfers go there regularly and it is noted for
its high winds.  It is afterall where Kitty Hawk is located and where
the Wright Bros. went to experiment with that thing they called an
aeroplane or something like that.  Without its winds, we would never
have been able to now sit long hours waiting for planes to take off.
