We are fortunate to have Rhonda at the helm of our ship, certain that Rhonda will take the Windsurfing Hall of Fame to the next level.

The Windsurfing Hall of Fame was founded by photographer, filmmaker, and lifelong windsurfer, Jonathan Weston. What began as a just for fun polling game on FB, evolved into a serious effort honoring the folks who've made up the fabric of our sport. Working with many noteworthy souls who gathered together and formed a Voting Body, and then the inaugural Selection Committee. The results are what you see here on this site; an established institution, an all encompassing selection of windsurfing elites and supporting cast. Spanning the multiple disciplines of our sport, seemingly widely accepted; it is and forever will now be, the WINDSURFING HALL OF FAME!
