Total KOOK move...drove away from cook st with my black and grey West wetsuit on my roof.

Dallas road it is then. Will check out some of the other spots.

See you out there.

Hi, Moved here from Nova Scotia. I'm an OK rider, can self launch and recover. Looking for sandy launch spots and not the kite ripping mayhem of Dallas Road. Any suggestions?
