Spot Details

2011 Update: High water makes this launch tighter than last year.  Be sure to get help launching / landing.

Good sandy beach, fairly good for thermals - especially in the fall.  SW is good and some serious SE breezes before storms.  

Beware of noticeable temperature shifts, especially a sudden "hot" flash, which indicates a switch in wind direction to off-shore.

Check the kiter's kiosk for local launch particulars.  Better yet, ask one of the friendly local riders.

Parking is good and close; access is easy only about 2 km from the 401 at White's Road.  

No restrooms or food here.
