Just in case people don't get to the Off-Topic post, here is the map / plan for the project.

Well if the trail is in that good shape we are laughing. The re-route to prevent future washouts is worthwhile, and after getting the trail easily hike-able, my goal is to make it mountain bike-able for an experienced rider (no dabs :-)). I was able to do the loop many years ago in about 16 - 18 min...

Mike also expressed interest in pitching in and has some tools. here is the e-mail I sent him: Mike, Glad to know you are interested in helping rebuild the trail. My friend John is will be up with me at that time and he has a chain saw. I have copied him on this e-mail too. I’ll keep a list of inter...

I can't think of a spot to launch. Anybody ever sailed there?

Please check out my post in the "Off Topic" section. a map with a draft plan is posted there. Seeing as it is hiking / biking related, I posted it there instead of here but would like to get it seen and passed around to as many people as I can.

Thanks

Jim

Hey folks, Remember the awesome hiking / mountain bike loop trail that went up the river and the crossed back to the campsite road? The river washed out some of it and the blow-down got still more. Now it is almost impassable. i have a plan to rebuild it. You can download the map here https://jimric...

I have found two boards by walking the beach down at the end of the lake. Drive out of the campsite, through the village, till you can see the lake on your left. Take first left and go to the parking lot near the boat launch. There are trails that go into the forest and come out on the beach but you...

Hunky found my board at Knob point and collects the reward which he says he will share with the guy who spotted it. Thanks to them and the wind gods that it is returned. :P :wink: 8) :lol: :) :D

AIR TRANSAT - Direct to Cancun reasonable price - Weight was limiting factor, not size for free Kite equipment. 22 lbs max weight or charges will be levied.

Well SaltSpringKiterPeaceGuy.....
So how did the trip go? Did you rent or buy? Advice?
Don't keep us in suspense.

Looks like 138 and up is the way to go. I'm leaning that way but will also look at width as well. How does one figure out or compare the rocker on different boards when buying second hand? Thanks for the help. I'll be posting a wanted add on the buy and sell forum soon. I'll have to see what used bo...

Any recommendations for a beginner re using an impact vest versus a harness only? What are pros and cons.
