Default Food for thought

With all the problems with the backside SW, shallow, death traps, newbies, lessons, trees, small launch, gusty, ect.......consider Sunset up near Howard Park. It's blowin 25 knots+ this morning, the strongest read in the whole area, a beautiful flat that rivals East Beach if not better, Howard Park causway protects it from chop but doesn't ubstruct the wind, very few ride there. Down sides, not a ton of parking but on a day like today (cold and windy) shouldn't be a problem and launch is not the greatest but definately better than BS SW. It's shallow and walkable forever and works best on a NW. Yes it's a drive for some but rewards are great.

Be safe,
Steve-O

my problem is that BS Skyway is about 6 minutes from my front door..

howard park can take 45 min in good traffic.
