Get a set of binoculars. I have used them multiple times to find people. It’s impossible to see someone floating in the water at any distance in rough seas without them. Search and rescue needs some idea where people are or might be. It’s a big ocean. Keep track of who is out there and who you haven...

Sometimes you can get good southeast winds at Myron rd in Lantzville or if you want to carry your gear down from the Blueback access. But I’d say go to Sans Pareil. Windy, safe and usually a crowd. Ask any windsurfer how to water start and you will get lots of advice. Maybe too much. There are not m...

Crocs. Good plan! Feet were hurting last CB low tide session. One trip is ok but multiple trips on sharp rocks and stubbing the toes. Ouch. Of course I would have to get back to where I was wearing the Crocs :roll:

After the big Typhoon Songda swim I thought I would resurrect this thread. I feel lucky I made it in with a 4.0 and a 75 l board in rapidly evaporating wind. Some were not so lucky. Who would have thought that would happen? But it does. Upon reflection I think we need to be more proactive. We need t...
