Looks like it could deliver today - anyone know the river levels - I don't want to wade out in neck deep water to launch. - C

very minimal near the stairs....but you can wade through the waist-deep paths to go out to the reg. launch area....maybe. Otherwise, I am thinking about hiking up past the nudie hang-out and over to that big hook/dune, just east-upwind of the normal spot.

East wind sweet spot.

Fun in the mud. But not that much fun as the wind gods turned off the facet and then turned it on 15 minutes from my house at Rooster.

DAMN YOU WIND GODS.

Gman, where exactly did you launch from on the Netstucca? I can't tell if you marked it on the map? I have ridden at those markers in the ocean down from the turnaround but never in the river. Was the wind all good?

It was mutual comotivation for sure Rollo! During the sun breaks when the wind would calm a bit, you could definately feel spring around the corner! Very Happy

We need a report from Parking Lot D ...looks like things quieted down around 2?
