| Kitesurferdale: got the nfo billie thanks!! Packages all packed up and ready for a bus trip! - Wednesday May 22, 8:45PM |
| Sandy Beach: Slats, thx for the comments! As far as we know the city is on board. Canal Beach is 'under construction' at the moment and the recent alternative kite launches from HQ new wharf may be difficult due to Port Authority's recent installation of tall light/lamp posts. We'll keep you posted. - Wednesday May 22, 7:20PM |
| Bk: Does anyone have Mark Sprungman's number? - Wednesday May 22, 6:40PM |
| Slats: Sandy, It would be great to have a solid launch spot there. Would it help your cause if we all signed a support petition that you could take to the mayor showing all the touristo dollars that flow in as a result? - Wednesday May 22, 7:57AM |
| Kayakdoc: Sandy, I hope the city recognizes your extraordinary efforts to bring wind sports to Port Alberni and continues your leasing arrangements. Keep us updated. - Tuesday May 21, 10:19PM |
| Sandy Beach: KD: it's like your review of Canal Beach in yr one, 'Phoenix Rising from the ashes'. Thx for all the ongoing wind supports!:) - Tuesday May 21, 7:20PM |
| Sandy Beach: KD:I remember the feat of you kiting the outflow in PA. Always pushing the limits!:) Great times. City has now moved the log salvage operator downwind (after 3 yrs of sharing the space) and most recent news is city will be 'renovating' and cleaning up the site to make it more safe and public beach-like. 'Under construction' and closed at the moment. The Canal Beach Posse is hoping for a wind-friendly launch area once the construction is completed (timeline unknown). - Tuesday May 21, 7:17PM |
| Kayakdoc: Otlunch. Thanks for the video share; a modern day escape to paradise. For a long distance tour like the Baja trip the biggest issue is carrying fresh water. I do not know if you can carry enough water and food for a few days on your back. It might be possible to baffle the board, but it might make it unwieldy. - Tuesday May 21, 6:01PM |
| Kayakdoc: Thanks Sandy. I hope I get to kite with the PA/Canal Beach Posse soon. - Tuesday May 21, 5:53PM |
| Sandy Beach: Kayakdoc, Awesome downwinder journey! Thx for posting your 3 hr tour with yeahmon in your session review :) Incredible that your phone will work out in the strait and mine doesn't even work on the beach at Gordon's or Cook! I need a new plan lol. Good reading, thx for share:) - Tuesday May 21, 5:23PM |

| Yeahmon: nice one Colin,a friend in Cabarete raves of the offshore wind peelers down that coast, next year I want to go. - Tuesday May 21, 4:00PM |
| Kayakdoc: I think the ultimate would be a trip from San Felipe to La Paz on the inside of the Baja Peninsula (1000 miles). I have kayaked this and it is spectacular. There is a prevailing wind from the north beginning in October. Food and water could be an issue for the first 150 miles, but it could be sorted. I think trips like this by kite are coming. - Tuesday May 21, 3:35PM |
| Colin: A couple of my buddies and I did a 34 mile down winder along desolate wave spattered Peruvian coastline in November. Finish line was our beach front patio full of beers and gourmet food. - Tuesday May 21, 3:19PM |
| Jl: Thanks for sharing that yeamon. - Tuesday May 21, 12:40PM |
| Juandesooka: What's next Kenny, Renfrew to JR? That would be an adventure. :-) Me, I'd at least want a VHF...just in case. - Tuesday May 21, 11:54AM |
| Yeahmon: hey thx JL for the map and epirb stuff,we will have to look into this for next weeks run - Tuesday May 21, 11:25AM |
