Nice Review Tony,

Sorry I missed you on Sunday had lessons all day in Parksville.

Your review was pretty much bang on.

For experience sailors launching off the boom is the way to go. And as Tony said it is not that difficult. Launching of the inside with the rocks potential logs and wind shadow ...

Hi Guys,

Sailed Wild West today with my buddy Mark.

It teased us for building to a big day but when it was all said and done we sailed 6.0 to 7.5 on our old Roberts 9.4. Still ripped.

Getting 30 people as a break even point is not a problem.

Tony are you doing your math @ $10.00 per head ($300.00)???

I would expect to see easily 50 to 100 people attending if we get the word out.

Sailing off the public beach in Parksville is not short board paradise. In fact the opposite it is longboard paradise and teaching perfect. If we want to shortboard; Port Alberni off of WWW or China Creek is the best bet.

Sorry Dave,

The over use of the site is probably my fault.

Myself and my staff use it daily and every new student I teach I direct them to your site.

Seriously though, the wind prediction part of your site is great and an important tool for scheduling lessons for beginners.

If you want you could make it a Vancouver Island Premier. I can host it at my location in Parksville. I can put ten long boards on the water including the tandem.
