Mark Worth
"Worth grew up sailing small boats off the shores of New York and Connecticut. In 1979, he pried himself from the Atlantic’s watery embrace and moved to Telluride, where he became a pioneer in the nascent telemark skiing movement in the San Juans. But when the snow melted, Worth pined for wind and open water. He spent most of the summer of 1984 at Miramonte Reservoir, teaching himself to sail an early-model windsurfer. “The rig was rudimentary,” he recalls. “There were no foot-straps or harness lines, so when the wind picked up, I’d just hold on really tight.” (A windsurfer consists of a mast and sail mounted on a surfboard-like platform. It operates on the same principles as sailboat – albeit a very nimble sailboat.) The windsurfing bug bit Worth hard. By 1991, he was summering in Hood River, Ore., where he honed his skills in the famed Columbia River Gorge. Five years later, he opened a windsurfing guide service. His business thrived; he’d found his niche. At the end of the decade, Worth expanded his curriculum include the new sport of kiteboarding. He now runs Gorge Kiteboard School in the summer and Telluride Snowkite School in the winter." --Taken from: https://www.telluridenews.com/the_watch/news/article_6570e43e-2f0c-561a-b621-1d9c1bac30fd.html Link accessed 12/31/20 Worth was also the mayor of Telluride, Colorado in late 1980's.
