The Windsurfing Enthusiasts of Tidewater, Inc., (WET) is the voice of all the windsurfers of the lower Chesapeake Bay area and serves as a contact for those interested in the sport. We work in cooperation with United States Windsurfing to see that launch sites stay accessible to us as well as addressing legal matters such as PFD regulations. We host several regattas each year in addition to swap meets, clinics, and weekend trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We also keep several of the local beaches clean. If you are a seasoned windsurfer or just interested in finding out more about our sport, you are welcome to join us in our activities. The yearly membership fee of $20 includes a discount at all WET-sponsored races and an extra $25 membership with the USW allows you to participate in USW sanctioned events. So whether you've lived here all your life, you're just passing through, or you're thinking about moving here, check us out and come sail with us.

        Did you break something or are you looking for something to break? Find gear to buy or sell? If you're not a WET member now's a good time to meet some of us and join. You do not have to be a member to participate in any of our activities but your membership does help support the club in it's efforts to promote the sport and secure beach access for all. WET was responsible for the launch area reserved at the end of Buckroe Beach during swimming season. Without a unified voice we probably would not have this access and it's the only public access for windsurfing in Hampton.
