Is anyone driving in to Nat on Friday (June 14th, 2024) evening that has an extra seat??? Daughter will be driving to Youbou after work, but is hesitant to attempt logging road portion with small car. Her loving father will be driving in with Wing foil Gear earlier, so she just needs a lift, no extr...

Thx spinningtony and Gwind. So far no answer for the carve, is 2000/01 still considered 'vintage' by most WS types?

BUSTED! Thx Gdawg, I'm hunting, and will hopefully find something suitable for RB! I was looking at the Starboard Blend and Whopper as suggested by someone who knows 'these things', but will try the Mistral as well. - Thanks! -

BWD, Winddoc and Juan, thanks for input. She'll be up at Nitinat with me until the both of us develop the confidence to K-ing and WS-ing in the wind and tides we encounter around vic/nanaimo. Agree that more money spent now might save $ down the road and that the technology has improved immensely. I...

Hi, don't want to shame this guy, or to be shamed myself! I found this gear in usedvic, and would like to get gear for my daughter. My background: I'm a kiter, daughter is just starting out, has had a lesson from Hijo (I think) and so I would like to acquire some 'beginner gear' that she can shed, a...

BWD, thx for the posting the link to the discussion thread on tires. Resident experts past and present: Thx for all the input and advice, lots of different perspectives and certainly a lot of options. With the tire types and brands suggested recently, I find that when I'm walking in parking lots, I'...

True, the group is friendly and very supportive, and I hope she does end up building relationships, even with other geriatrics aside from myself! I wish I could talk her in to KS-ing, but she has her mind made up, I also love what our neighbor said, "KS, hell, no way, she's in my tribe". S...

Will log in and check out the teaching beta. Thx! 'Student' not posting herself as 'student' has not bothered to register with BWD (too difficult), and she has a charming, but overbearing father for that. Also warnings of WS being a 'sausage fest' by certain un-named bloggers might have made her a b...

Newbie will be surfing (not windsurfing) tomorrow and Saturday. Will find out if Monday looks good for vic area, IV, Willows or Elk. and if someone might be available to assist her. Appreciate all the info, and especially the photo of us floundering around in the surf on Monday at IV, JL!! thx for t...

Ok Thx! Will check wind conditions in Ladysmith, looks like IV is going ballistic next couple of days. Maybe KUS has some ideas for vic area, thx again, jb

My daughter and I went to IV yesterday (Dec 1st). I was trying to help her to do a WS water-start. (sorry, I'm a kiteboarder). My daughter is 25, and looking for lessons and / or advice. We live in Victoria. We're also in the market for beginner gear. I bought her a board at Nitnat at the end of the...

My wife has an Alaska credit card. We live in Vic, and she gets a $50 companion fare or two a year. You might have to call alaska 1-800 and ask for the application for CDN card, not the US card.
