A former executive with JPMorgan Chase, Norman "Norm" Gretzinger cofounded EG Capital in New York City in 2003 and continues to serve as managing director for the private equity firm. In his leisure time, Norm Gretzinger enjoys windsurfing at nearby Napeague Bay.
The most popular windsurfing site on Long Island, Napeague Bay draws windsurfers for its steady winds, even in the heat of summer. With shallow waters and a sandy bottom in a mostly enclosed region, the bay offers a safe learning opportunity for beginners but still provides sufficient challenge for experienced windsurfers looking to enhance their skills.
The launch site of Napeague Bay lies at the end of a dirt road between the towns of Montauk and Napeague. Nonresidents must purchase a parking permit from East Hampton Town Hall or obtain a launch sticker to park near the launching ramps.
Those familiar with the area say the best winds are in the northern part of Napeague Bay. The southern part has shallower waters and obstacles such as moored boats and weeds that can cause problems for windsurfers.
