Major Hazzard at BS Skyway
I know this has been gone over before .. but I have not been out there at low tide until today to get a good look at whats left of the sunken boat just off the beach at BS Skyway. The boat is pretty much gone as far as the eyes can see .. the edges that were there before are pretty much covered by oyster shells ..
its still an 8 x 8 area of solid steel .. now covered with a bunch of body eating shells.. BUT... just north of it is a protruding mound of DEATH and DOOM that looks like a kings crown shooting up into the sky. This thing is gnarly and will kill you if you land on it. I cannot stress enough how absolutely dangerous this hazzard is. everyone please be careful!! -B |

Thanks Bryan.
I've seen that mentioned on here before, but can't remember where it's located. Where is this stuff in relation to the little mangrove chunk out there? Thanks, Adam |

Eagle did a thorough write-up of BS and other spots here.
http://www.fksa.org/showthread.php?t=1662 It's about 70 yards to the SE of the mangrove island. There is another one in deeper water about 150 yards NE of the same island. You will see a halo around it. |

ya.. my post was just to remind of this hazard.. Eagles info is stuff that every local rider should go over carefully.. just that I know that many dont know about it cuz i see tons of guys out there jumping and getting worked near it..
backside has enough kite munching obstacles.. hate to see someone get pulled through that wreckage. it should be visible again tomorrow for those that go to BS skyway early. |

No doubt that reminders are good. The thing is, in Eagle's write-up he says it's not a good spot for new riders. I agree with him. Thing is, it has become a beginner magnet.
About 2 years ago that thing hurt someone real bad. |

yep..
It's said a number of times per season but we cant be everyone's mommy. Yesterday saw a number of riders cruising near the hazard in super gusty conditions.. |
