Personally, I'm with you. I want to try Tahoe as well. In fact, if
you ever get a road trip going there, please contact me and count me
in.
Other comments:
1) Bring the polar wet suit. 4/3 is probably just barely acceptable.
The water temperature, particularly with heavy snow runoff is going to
be around 45 degrees. Winter gloves are probably mandatory. A hood
might also be advisable.
2) The best windsurfing spot in the region is Washoe lake, which is
east of Tahoe.
3) Here are my accumulated phone numbers for Washoe and Tahoe sailing:
