KARMATIVE.COM thanks! I've tried the Uli before and it's pretty easy to catch waves and rolling it up makes for a perfect travel board. A bit loose on bigger waves due to the very round/very thick edges but def something I'd like to have in my collection. Totally agree with the 15-17psi. It's very ...

Any of you surfers out there may have noticed the ...

Hmmm just looked at the map and now I'm confused?!

From what I can see, a NE wind would make Willows cross-shore and not off-shore. Unless, of course, you are talking about Cattle Point? Where do you launch at Willows? If it's anywhere along the main beach then a NE wind would be perfect but if it ...

Island View or Willows???

Hey! New to Vic and was wondering where I should go tomorrow morning?(knock on wood!)

I've been to Island view before but never to Willows. How do you guys/gals make your choice if both places are forecasting roughly the

Thanks for the info!!

I agree KUS, I do/will support local business'. Where is the Ocean Rodeo shop? Can I just walk in and buy spare parts etc...??

I already know where to ride-just making sure there wasn't a club membership type thing like there is at Squamish.

thanks again

New to Victoria

Hey!

I just moved from Vancouver to Victoria and was wondering what the kiting scene is like here?! Is there a club or some sort of members fee to kite the local spots?

Where is the local kite shop to get spare parts like bladder valves and tape etc...?

Will I be ok with a 9m and a 12m for all ...
