We have some very fit, post 65, windsurfers in our group.
That guy has a grey beard.
My friend Bert is a 70 year old retired letter carrier who spends his checks on the latest gear. He runs around without a shirt to show off his abs of steel... he foils to try and get more years out of his knees that the stem cell injection seems to have helped allow him to windsurf again too. I think he just bought a wing to try wing-dinging as that sport uses a smaller board but you have to start on your knees and get to full standing so not sure how that will work.

Another friend and Los Altos neighbor, Si, retired from Cisco and took up Triathlons. He's late 60s I think and told me this week he "went back to work" half time with the Packard Foundation helping give away money while getting paid while working at a nice building down town Los Altos a mile from his home. He's a smallish guy but he was running around without a shirt the other day and there were a lot of torso muscles visible... obviously he's kept fit while working.

My good friend Jennifer is probably mid 50s, owns a swimming school, used to do triathlons until she had to give up running for hiking like I do... she sails almost daily. She has a body an 18 yr old high school athlete would die for... I feel good when I can keep up with her but I am not naive as she does a morning workout and an hour windsurfing is her "fun" activity. Still... I can keep up most days if I don't sail every day!
