We have nice northwest wind and sunshine here for a few days. Most of us on hydrofoils launch just west of the Jericho Sailing Centre pier at Trimble St because the water is deepest there. Others find that any beach along Spanish Banks works until late May when lifeguard season starts and kiters are restricted to the Locarno beach at the foot of Tolmie St.
Yesterday (Apr 12) I was well powered on my 4.5 wing and the hydrofoil kiters were on 6m kites. It was a great springtime day. The best kiting and winging conditions in the city are in the spring and fall.
