What about Powell River area????
I'm Headed to Powell River for essential work for a couple week.
Just wondering if theres any wind spots to check out? Or even just a good spot to go SUPing?

Hey Jesse, go south of PR/Westview on Sunshine Coast Hwy about 8km to Black Point Rd, head down to ocean or about 1km further south to Donkersly Beach at end of Donkersly Rd, both can be good on strong W, NW coming down Malaspina Strait, there's often strong westerly thermal if weather is good. Might work off strong SE too(?). Black Pt should be more exposed.
Grief Pt may be good too, off Grief Pt park, access via Malaspina Avenue, basically south end of town (Westwiew)

The only thing I'll be nursring KUS, is an Adrenaline+beer hangover
PR
There’s around 10 of us that kite/windsurf when the weather is on. Lots playing around on the foil side of things with lighter summer winds.
As mentioned Donkersley & grief point but also beach gardens, brew bay, Willingdon and Gibson’s beach. All kinda directionally dependant but pretty obvious. Savary is good from what I’ve heard but yet to explore the north end.
Give me a shout anytime. Six oh four 240.7038
How long are you around for?
