Nice! I grew up there and it is a bit like Victoria on the Great Lakes. Fanatic Bee would be a good learner board, especially for someone of your manly heft! But I don't see them often in the swells. If you've got a line on a new JP, I'm a big fan. I'm still riding a 2019 JP Foil Pro and it's always ...

This may be a better starter choice.

RB is a good venue for learning, but IMO, not the best. It can be very gusty, choppy at best, and mostly have swells. Great for the elite foilers, very tough when trying to learn.
Willows is likely a better location. Typically flat, sheltered, nice sand beach. Very nice on SE. Can be gusty with a ...

Sorry to hear.
I've had multiple successes with patching inflatable SUPs suffering a puncture. However, I've never tackeled a seam failure. That sounds like you mayneed a more complex professional fix from a repair shop. Perhaps Comox Kites may be able to help you.
Good luck.

Thanks!
No VCM on my cheap man van.
Just 19yrs of loyal service.
Interesting thread....

MiniVan works for me for similar needs. Lots in RBFC sport manvans.
Fold all the seats down and you've got a 4x8x4ft high protected cab. I've used it comfortably as an RV in China Ck, Tofino, etc.
Max load out has been 2 surf SUPs, 2 foil boards, and an MTB. We once loaded up 7 bikes/riders for a ...

Me and the OGs have had lots of wingfoiling success at Cad. It was a goto spot while I was learning on wingSUP and wingfoil. It's also a nice alternative if Willows/CP is nuking. Main beach is a decent put in. Loon Park just south of RVYC is also good, particularly if shorebreak/logs are bad at main ...

Bobson's lumberjack love is showing! Trying to make us all loggers.

I support this initiative.

Group shots from the Friday the 13th's fantastic wingfoiling session. Bobson was rippin' and whoopin'. Lots of gybe progression from Lancer. Paul was riding high and fast. MtnarG was following with his butter smooth gybes. Tweezwler was stylin' his elite skills. Ruppdog ...

Does anyone have recent experience with foiling at Squamish, particularly the Spit? I've heard that recent changes have affected access. Is it still accessible to wing foilers without needing a shuttle boat? What are the typical wind speeds? Any other useful info. Thanks in advance!

Bob:
If no one else grabs it soon, I'll take it.
I'm using my old bike GPS, but I've never had the best of luck with durability with this new-fangled technology.
I'd rather someone takes it for primary use, but I'll grab it as back up if no one takes the freebie.

Thanks, sir!

Cool wing jumper captured on my learning feedback gopro.

I'll see what I can do......

A bit late in getting the camera into the air. But I did get a bit of a capture.
