Hey kids, we are at the lowest water level of the year so far. Lots of permanent objects have reared their ugly heads, ready to snap your ankles off and break you foils in half!

No joke! I almost hit the log that's inches below water 50 yards or so outside of launch area. The stump I knew about but that log almost got me. It'd be nice if we could get some floats for at least the one that's further out. I'm sure a foil or two has hit that already.

I was a victim of the underwater log today. I hit it at full speed, it launched me off my surfboard and destroyed the fin box. If I had been strapped in, it would have been a more serious incident. I plan to put a float on it, but please be careful and watch out for it in the meantime. Shocked
