Welcome to NALSA's web site
You will find information here on the North American Land Sailing Association (NALSA), upcoming sanctioned events, US club information and landsailing in general.

News Flash:
Greenbird sets new landsailing speed record. On March 26 as 40mph + winds canceled NALSA racing and sometimes totally obscured Ivanpah Dry Lake with blowing dust. Richard Jenkins piloted Ecotricity's Greenbird to a new land speed record of 126.2 mph (203.09 kph). Detailed Data
The same day, a new Blokart record was also set at Red Lake (62 mph, 100kph!) Pod and 2 meter sail.

NALSA is expanding its web presence to include a more interactive site. John Elsenlohr has set up a Yahoo Groups-based site. You have to join up to participate, but you can view the postings without being a member.
