It's probably around 110L. Somewhat wider wave board.
Maybe I'll have t ... |

Great info again there. Thanks! My biggest sail is a 5.6 wave sail which wasn't quite enough for me today. Almost got out and lost the rig and it got swept to the rock pile. No major damage. Just a br ... |

The inlets seem to protect the launch so you don't have a big side current at the beach. It's NE to ... |

I recently moved back to Florida and live around Delray Beach. Anyone have any good ocean or lake sailing spots in the area they can share? |

My Chevy HHR is a great surf wagon. I can stick a board up the middle and have the passenger seat open for someone or lower the passenger seat and load a few 8'6" boards + plenty of room for sail ... |

Try Bathsheba for surfing. A nice spot on a good swell if you like big waves.
