Took the sail out of my trunk, young kid with Australian accent with Canada parks said what is that ? After a few more retarded questions he said it's a protected area for birds with no water use ... so no windsurf or kite. I guess the primary treatment outflow is a way of protecting birds too.I did not even argue, whats the point, put sail back and drove home so not to ruin the place for wtf kiters. I will just rig far away next time ;)

Several weeks ago, some of my kiter buddies also reported warnings from an Iona grounds keeper. Looks like kiting or windsurfing Iona may be facing some resistance.

No love at dog beach, way to sketchy of a launch so I didn't even try. One guy struggled but managed to make it. He was underpowered and went way downwind but seems to be enjoying the wind down by the sailing club where it looks much stronger.

Maybe Friday morning with low tide at Acadia - fingers crossed.

Alton ,****** tomorrow 630pm to dusk. 25 knots with chest high waves @Acadia ****

Lots of beach people, but just launch and you ll be instantly transfered to a different place, an Alton's heavenly place with waves, wind, and lots of naked women .....sorry I was thinking about Wreck Beach; oh yes, Acadia, yes, it will have good wind and waves. ;)
