Is the new Port Alberni launch area down plywood road, beginner friendly?
I can water start no problem just wondering how it is for current and boat traffic? Is a farmer john wetsuit ok or is it freezin out there? Decent parking and rigging areas?

your thinking of hacking the kelp, so you can jibe...
maybe, take a few more days and think about it....

Does anyone know where I can purchase one of those cranks to help with the downhaul? I have seen a few people with them and they look like a great way to save your back?
Thanks in advance,

I may head up to Bella Coola end of august and was wondering if anyone here has windsurfed on Chilko Lake. I recall an afternoon wind kicking up but can't remember if it was suitable for a short board.

I am heading to Nitnat either saturday or sunday next weekend....June 28/29....anyone have a contact for a few hours of lessons.
I am fightiing to learn to waterstart...and frustrated...need some guidance...

I went to Nimpkish early this year, March and the wind was up...I know its a great place to sail...are there any good places to practice water starts? The main site I was at looked rough, both with big waves and and the old rail piles....is the camp site further south better?

I am a beginner with my own gear...I drastically need lessons. I have water started but its not a habit, wish it was. I up haul mostly and seem to fight the wind all day.....HELP....
my email is the best way to get hold of me.

I live in Qualicum so lessons pretty well ...

Does anyone here windsurf Horne Lake?
When does it blow? Is it westerlys?

I just decided to start windsurfing again and am banging away on my gear and not learning too much.
Can anyone recommend any books on windsurfing or people that give lessons this time of year in the Parksville area?
