Weekend wind (3/2 and 3/3)

Post by ozchrisb » Thu Feb 28, 2013 11:51 am

So the coast is looking okay for the weekend, but the bay is going to be light. I have my new raceboard setup and desperately want to try it. Where the the flatwater/chop coastal spots suitable for a raceboard newbie? Bodega? Tomales?

Bodega harbor is super shallow. I don't think deep race board fins will work there...

I second the response regarding Bodega Bay. At low tide, half the bay is above water.

I think based on the forecast 3rd / Alameda Sunday afternoon if you have a raceboard is reasonable

Raceboard days at Alameda are really really really fun
