Seems to be a welcoming and friendly vibe at the Spit the times I have been there. Typical of the island spots I have been. I'm a valley resident for a while now but new to the scene. G-Daddy's correct that there is a limited flatwater corridor for kiting but seeming lots of room otherwise. Boats go...

It's a great point that some windsurfers (like myself) likely don't have a clue how to land a kite so stand by so as not to make a bad situation worse. I felt like a jerk standing on the beach watching them go by but.....wasn't sure what to do or even if they needed or wanted help. It would be great...

Had lots of fun on it but about ready to break in 2, I think. Had to do some epoxy injection as the fractures started to appear.

When my family was young (early 90's) we used to go on camping trips to Nitinat - first ones to camp way downwind of the boat launch, I believe (not so busy then). It was just...

Back to windsurfing
Hi all - my first post here. Looks like a great site. Decided to get back seriously to windsurfing (still my favourite sport) as my youngest is now off to UVic. However, my 15 to 20 year old gear looks pretty worn and needing replacing and I understand that the new stuff is much better anyway. I've ...
