Come on guys... I'm getting tired of beating up my little friend Garry. The forecast for Wednesday night racing is looking to be very good. We will be launching from the cswy at 6:00 to head out for racing. Keep in mind that we are not really allowed riding at the cswy so drift launch and head down to the race course.
Bring either a directional, a surfboard, or a larger twin tip that's at least 40 cm plus wide. The courses are windward / leeward and we are usually the second start with the windsurfers. We use a 3 minute sequence and its 2 laps.
If you come, be very nice to those running the race and WE GIVE RIGHT AWAY TO ALL OTHER SAILING CRAFT. Many of those sailing on the boats have some sort of disability ranging from blindness to paralysis. All of these sailors are very accomplished and competitive so don't assume that they will give way.
This is tons of fun and a great way to get into kite racing. We can even brag a bit if we beat a windsurfer or two.
