Re: How do you get a forecast for Sproat Lake, Port Alberni?

Give the YR app a try for local forecasts. The phone app allows you to get wind speed forecasts in knots, while the website seems to only give m/s.

Re: Bladder repair

And if you are not a DIY type, Comox Kite Repair can handle most any repair for wings and kites.

Re: Flat water foiling spots

Hey @bobson,
I've wingfoiled several times on the inside of Goose Spit in Comox in a SE. It works pretty well if the tide coincides with the wind. Just give the anchored boats some room, and be careful not to go too far on starboard, i.e. I ran aground a couple of times.

Re: Board found at Heron Rocks Hornby

This is an RSC Joker. It is in Comox now.
The colour looks like it has been out in the sun for a long time, but overall looks to be in fine condition.
Please claim or suggest who might have use for a spare board.
