In an effort to broaden the scope of maritime heritage, Cape Cod Maritime Museum’s summer exhibit encompasses the exhilarating world of Kite Boarding & Wind Surfing. Catch the Wind: Kite Boarding & Wind Surfing on Cape Cod features video footage of the world speed sailing record-holder, Rob Douglas of Martha’s Vineyard, who captured his win via kite sailing in 2009, clocking in at 55.65 knots!
Catch the Wind narrates part of the ever-evolving story of Cape Cod’s maritime recreation sports, through inspiring photographs and historic & contemporary artifacts including boards & sails. The exhibit will also show evidence of the early beginnings of wind surfing on Cape Cod, and the fast-growing world of kite boarding in the new millennium.
Catch the Wind opens on Tuesday, May 22nd and runs thru Sunday, September 23rd.
