Coulon Park

This is a wonderful little spot for brand new windsurfers. Local instructors like Boeing Windsurfing Club like to work from here, because there are very gentle 8 mph to 12 mph afternoon winds here that make new sailors feel really safe. About 100 yards from shore, there a series of logs enclosing the launch area, which keeps motorboats and jetskis away. On breezy days, you can sail out of the beginner playpen and venture out to the southern park of Lake Washington. (If you're on a foil, you'll need to flip your board as you swim through the gaps between the log barrier.)
