Windski- a wind-powered winter sport.

While taking our hits for yesterday's post on snowboards, we learned about the Windski- almost a hybrid of three different sports, it takes a ski, a shrunken snowboard/skateboard deck, and a windsurfer sail and smushes them all together into a sailboard for snow. This looks like a fabulous alternative for those of us with lots of flat ground, frozen lakes and piddly hills. For thrill seekers, speeds have been measured at over 45 MPH. What a great idea- we want one. (but with a bamboo deck!) ::Windski and watch the "Best of" video thanks, tipster Clive
