Default yamacraw

yea you where right shuman
nice place to ride in a NNE flat water.
not the best beach and yes there are a few kite killing trees and a few objects to ovoid.
but at low tide it's a safer launch than go slow.

Its pretty frickin' East tho. Unless you are already East and unless the weekend, it'd take the better part of 2 hrs to get there in traffic.

In NNE I'd go to Club Med, or stay West and sail waves and leave the flat water kiting to Blue-ish Hill another time.

But thats just me.

I have a special connection with Yamacraw I got up and rode for the first time there 8) .Isn’t the best spot but it’s the only spot that gives you shallow water(low tide) on NE ENE wind,Blue hill on a ENE is crap.

Default well if you can get through the trafic

if you can get through the trafic and made a mistake on locations, like you have gone to blue hill and the wind is to N.
try yamacraw, you will be plesenty suprized.
I was checking googel earth the other night and there are a few more spots on the eastern side of Nassau that we have not been riding in .
crappy beaches with car wrecks and hatian boat wrecks but it looks nice from googel earth.

Ah, but did you see Beach Bay (just west of Delaporte Point) y'day.
Looked very nice. Pretty flat with nice sets coming through.

Think I'm going to spend more time there this winter.

Hey Dilette, don't forget that shit happens very fast above 20k....I keep saying that riding in 10 to 20k in one thing and riding above 20k is a completely other game. There's isn't much time to react.....
