Well here it is.
If you want to know my Punta San Carlos adventure story:

http://www.islandnet.com/~rkashino/SanCarlos2012.htm

I just returned from Punta San Carlos, AWT event. The location is the best I've seen for wave sailing. Although smallish when I was there I can see the potential of the location. Also, as plus, it is perfect for SUP surfing, especially in the morning. One thing I didn't bring, which I will next time...

That's good information.
I had the same issue with tires when I first started driving the logging road to Nitinat. I used to go 60 to 80 km/hr. I'd be guaranteed at least 2 flat tires every season, not to mention a blown transmission.
Now I drive 50 km/hr or less. Not a single flat tire in 10 years.

Thanks.
I've got a Dodge Caravan and I'm just trying to get a sense of how the road compares with the logging roads I've driven here in B.C.
From Google Earth it looks like a maze of roads.

The forecast is 2 feet. That is Significant Wave Height which is the average of the highest 33 percent of the waves. Maximum Wave heights are between 1.5 to 2 times Significant Wave height. Breaking wave Height will be about 2 times wave height. So look for 4 to 6 foot breakers. Most probable are go...

Has anybody been on the dirt road from the highway to Punta San Carlos in the last couple of years?
How does it compare to driving the dirt road to Nitnat?

An physical oceanography text book would help you. This is the way I would sum it up. Ground swell or swell has long period...wait I have to tell you what period is. When you look at a pure wave coming in. It has a wave length. We indirectly measure his with Wave Period. That's the time it takes to ...

On my way to Pistol River right now.

I'm entered in the Pistol River Wave Bash and will taking the Tuesday morning ferry to Port Angeles and driving down to Gold Beach. Latest Forecast looks pretty good for wind. I'll be posting a blog on my website: http://www.rkwave.ca Pistol River Wave Bash 2011 http://www.islandnet.com/~rkashino/Pi...

You are asking a lot for one board. I think you might want 2 boards. One for high wind and one for light wind. Although I've got a Carve 133 and have sailed it in that range. It is scary at 25 knots if there is any chop. Its best range is 15 to 20 knots with a 6.0 sail. At 10 to 15 knots I use an 8....

A good general rule of thumb is get a board volume that at least equals your body weight plus your wet suit plus the weight of your rig. i.e. if you weigh 150 lbs and your rig weighs 20 lbs thats 170 lbs = 170/2.204 = 77 Kg x 1 litre/ kg of water = 77 litres minimum. If you weigh 200 lbs plus 20 lbs...

Yes!
I saw the Premier of this Move in Hood River last month.
Excellent and well worth seeing (again).
Features windsurfing in Maui, Canaries and the Gorge.

Hawaiian Island Surf and Sport in Kahului, Maui sells their own brand of SUP. It comes stock with a mast track or at least it used to. If not you could special order it and they'll have Ding Kings put one in. http://www.hawaiianisland.com/Detail.bok?category=STAND+UP++SURFING&no=589&searchpa...
