WILLIAMS WINDSURFING ~ Breezy conditions provided an alternative mode of transportation Friday, as Andy Hayden used an umbrella to harness the wind's power. Hayden, riding a skateboard, let the wind do the work as he made his way across the Williams Baptist College campus. Average winds of 17-20 miles per hour were reported Friday and Saturday, with gusts up to 43 miles per hour. Hayden, a 2010 WBC graduate, is originally from Conway and now lives in Walnut Ridge.
