Re: Vehicles for wing foilers

MiniVan works for me for similar needs. Lots in RBFC sport manvans.
Fold all the seats down and you've got a 4x8x4ft high protected cab. I've used it comfortably as an RV in China Ck, Tofino, etc.
Max load out has been 2 surf SUPs, 2 foil boards, and an MTB. We once loaded up 7 bikes/riders for a ...

Re: Cadboro Bay?

Me and the OGs have had lots of wingfoiling success at Cad. It was a goto spot while I was learning on wingSUP and wingfoil. It's also a nice alternative if Willows/CP is nuking. Main beach is a decent put in. Loon Park just south of RVYC is also good, particularly if shorebreak/logs are bad at main ...

Squamish Wing Foiling

Does anyone have recent experience with foiling at Squamish, particularly the Spit? I've heard that recent changes have affected access. Is it still accessible to wing foilers without needing a shuttle boat? What are the typical wind speeds? Any other useful info. Thanks in advance!

Re: GPS Tracks

Bob:
If no one else grabs it soon, I'll take it.
I'm using my old bike GPS, but I've never had the best of luck with durability with this new-fangled technology.
I'd rather someone takes it for primary use, but I'll grab it as back up if no one takes the freebie.

Tweezer from the Air 230714

A bit late in getting the camera into the air. But I did get a bit of a capture.

More Novice Drone Follow-Cam 230713

Trying to get a bit better with filming fast moving objects. Very close call with kiter's lines at min 0:33. That would have been bad. I think I got WindJunky and MoreForce4 displaying their awesome skills. I did not recognize the other winger or the kiter.
Please let me know if you don't want ...

Drone Training Capture at RB 270712

I'm still learning how to fly this contraption so quality is amateurish.
Many thanks to Paul and Greg for giving me some moving subjects to practice with on a very light wind day.
Good for drone flying, bad for foiling.

Re: Canada Day RB Drone Capture

Hi Keen! I fly a very small UAV, sub 250g, so the foundation rule is , "don't do anything stupid".

The basic rules found here - https://tc.canada.ca/sites/default/files/2020-06/2019-2020-AA-33_INFOGRAPHIC_EN_V8.pdf

Canada Day RB Drone Capture

I was too tired to foil anymore so I tried to see if I could fly my Mini3 in the the middling winds and follow my old guy crew. It seems the Mini didn't have much problems with the occasional 25kt gusts and I managed to keep her dry and whole. Still learning the art of follow cam, but it's hard to ...
