PLAYA WINDSURFING PARADE!
To all fellow burning man windsurfers a hearty hello. Hope to see you on
the Playa.
What: A flotilla of windsurfers will be sailing on the Playa in a colorful
display of grace, creativity, and style.
When: Friday Aug. 29th at 2:00pm (or when the wind picks up)
Where: We will rally up on the inner-playa, 1/2 way between Center Camp and
the Man. Just look for the sails.
Who: Anyone that has a playa windsurfing rig can join the parade. Just
show up and be ready for some fun.
Why: Let's entertain our lovely fellow BRC citizens with a splendid parade.
There will be prizes awarded to the top three most creatively
decorated/designed crafts, so DECORATE your craft.
Ahoy playasurfing mates,
Last year marks the first year that wind powered skateboards were officially
authorized by the DMV and we celebrated by giving the BRC citizens a parade.
This will be our 2nd annual BRC windsurfing parade and we look forward to
seeing you there (FRIDAY at 2pm, 1/2 way between Center Camp and the Man).
Spread the word and tell all of your playa surfing friends.
You will need to go by the DMV to register your craft before sailing the
playa. All wind-powered vehicles operating at BM will need to meet very
specific guidelines. In particular, your rig will need to have a MANUAL
BRAKE. For the exact Specifications & Regulations see the following BRC DMV
link:
http://www.burningman.com/on_the_playa/playa_vehicles/dmv.html#wind
We created a webpage last year with instructions on how to comply with the
Specifications & Regulations, complete with pictures and instructions on how
to "Make a Brake" for your rig.

SAIL SMART & SAIL SAFE!! Any stupid stuff could jeopardize the future of
playsurfing. Please be careful and considerate to people, vehicles, and art
installations.
I am part of camp "Star*Lite Star*Brite" (aka camp Lite-Brite,
http://www.litebrite.org/) and we're at Esplanade and Serious (3:30). Come
by and say Hello. Ask for Dave-O.
Spread the word and tell all of your playa surfing friends. Let's make this
a fantastic parade!
Cheers,
Dave-O
