Windsurfer to cross Atlantic solo from New York to France
French windsurfer Stephane Peyron, 26, plans a solo 24 ft sailboard voyage across the Atlantic from New York to France, sailing 8 to 12 hours daily with no escort. He trained a year, costs around 70000, carries food, water, and Nestle Crunch Bars, and risks sharks and waves while relying on a radio.

Windsurfing Made Easy For All Ages And Minds
Barry Gately of Wright Boats Inc in West Conshohocken explains windsurfing is mostly done on flat protected water, not the ocean. The sport is learnable in about six hours, with two three hour sessions advised. Women often learn faster when told strength isn’t required. Windsurfing gear can be rented at Marsh Creek State Park for ten dollars an hour, and Gately offers questions about equipment though he does not offer lessons.
