Kiters yesterday, May 15th, reported seeing four whales.. I am guessing probably humpbacks. Very special to be sharing the water with these creatures. They have been around for a few days now.
For anyone who doesn't know, 3rd Ave is the preferred launch spot and it works on SE wind. This is a good spot for beginners too as you will always eventually end up on shore. Watch the tide.. at lower tides you may have to walk a long way over the sandbank to get to deep water. There is a webcam there. The best wind sensor is for ikitesurf members, but you can get use the free one at the CZBB airport. If you see at least 10 knots you can hydro foil, if you see at least 13 knots you can twin tip.
