Look for the dark blue Dodge Caravan - stop by and talk windsurfing or kites. What is an Amoka?(pronounced A-moe-ka`) The legendary Amoka winds or gusts are found throughout the Great Lakes. Indians who traveled by birch canoe hunted out these the gust streams to speed their travel. The Amoka winds can be found about one mile offshore and blow always parallel to the shoreline.
