Sunfish Expands its Horizons

Sunfish

 

Feb 9, 2016

Sunfish began its life in the 1950s more of a flat surfboard with a sail and a rudder on it which influenced today’s design of windsurfs and stand up paddle boards.  The Sunfish quickly became the most popular dinghy boat in North America and represented, to many, family fun on the water and idyllic summers. 

After more than 60 years the thrill of Sunfish is still going strong. Known for its simplicity, the Sunfish sailboat provides the perfect platform for those seeking a recreational sailing experience and enjoyment with friends. It truly is a sailboat for everyone.

LaserPerformance’s commitment to the Sunfish continues with the new collection of Sunfish paddle boards, the first of many Sunfish-inspired products for those who enjoy an active lifestyle on the water.

Explore the World of Sunfish by visiting the new interactive site at www.worldofsunfish.com.  Filled with fascinating anecdotes about its modest beginnings, breathtaking photos, and engaging video content, LaserPerformance’s World of Sunfish has something for everyone.

The new buzzed-about Sunfish stand up paddle boards -slated to arrive April 2016- includes three types of boards: Sunfish Air SUP, Sunfish Sport SUP, and Sunfish Tour SUP.

“LaserPerformance has always strived to create memorable experiences for people. World of Sunfish is our newest platform to do just that,” says Bill Crane, LaserPerformance’s Chairman.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
