Never heard of anyone doing that from Ukee. I don't see the point, but maybe to anchor surf outer beaches near Nitinat, but to come from Ukee?? There is plenty of closer surf spots. It is possible at the right tide and you can easily tie a boat up near the campsite. There is also a boat launch at Ni...

I witnessed a near miss today. A kiteboarder riding a twin-tip in the surf near Tofino boosted an air right over top of a surfer in the water. I sailed over to the surfer to see if he was fine. We was, but a little spooked. Boosting air over top of people in the surf is a big No-No. I would hate to ...

Meares Vista is garbage. This time of year rates should be good except at Xmas and new years. Since the days are short and cold, I would recomend somewhere with access to a hot tub. Staying somewhere at Mackenzie beach is always good. You are allowed beach fires there. Tofino paddle surf for SUP and...

I do have a big SUP That takes a sail, but don't plan on heading to Nitinat this weekend unfortunately.
If you are ever out Tofino/Ucluelet Way, your welcome to use It. Kennedy lake gets a steady 8-12knot thermal all the time and is perfect for level 1 windsurfing.

I have two old mistrals pretty much given to me. ones a pandera and the other is a bit more performance (all carbon). Side by side I was able to make a sick pontoon that can easily float two of us with stand up paddles. perfect for lake fishing!

I think the camp they went to was Tatchu Surf Adventures. In the latest issue of Windsurfing Now magazine has a region...

Im yet to try the stubbier designs. Im not sure about getting one in the 80ish range, But in a 100L range it can prove to be pretty much a %80 of conditions board especially if it can be used as a wave SUP like the hyper nut or Fanatic Stubby and having a foil and windsurf compatibility for the 2018...
