Jl,

Let me know if you are coming up tomorrow, I will be free to kite about noon at Columbia. Tuesday I'm busy though.

As for a downwinder, how long do you want to go for?. 8 km - Rathtrevor beach to Columbia Beach - that would be good (could try that tomorrow if you want). If its low tide you can go Columbia to EagleCrest beach which is a huge sandy and bouldery beach 1 - 2km downwind.
Columbia beach to Kincaid Rd in Qualicum Beach - 10 km.

Aw shucks,

I'm working all day Tuesday. Might be a little light on Tuesday to chance the trip up ?
