There was a time when that 15knots teal color didn't even turn you on...

Jeff/Tweegster - at what tide level will White Rock be tricky to launch a kite?

Alton this is what East beach looks like at 11.5'. Some seaweed at the tide line but this is when sand starts to show. Easy enough to put your kite at the water and walkout. Enough people around to launch if it's windy at any tide just lots of seaweed in your lines if you self land in the water at higher or really low tides. Hope that helps and I'm sure Jeff could add some more local knowledge!

For sailing at BB, how necessary are booties? Is it about warmth, or are there barnacles that require foot protection?

And for windsurfing, is a weed fin required this time of year or would a wave fin work ok?

thanks

Can't sail Centennial on a westerly. Try the north side of the Ferry terminal. Weed fin mandatory. Booties are a personal preference but I recommend them.
