Greetings wingers! Is there a minimum water level required to wing from the parking area? I’ll be on a SUP so not requiring as much water as your mast. Cheers!

If you are on a SUP, no problem even at low tide. With a foil you can still launch from the end of the road but dont go upwind too much right away, you might hit the sand bar.

I had to install a centre fin so I can go upwind. Still okay I’m guessing as it’s nowhere near as long as a foil mast. Cheers

At ultra low tide there's mud so that won't work north of the road, but at 2m and up your definitely clear, maybe even 1 or 1.5m. the river can work too but has some sketchy logs and wind is usually worse there
