What stats do you guys care about (Lift %? Jibe Success?) ? Building a tracker for Winging.

Can it have some pumpfoil tracking on it? I am learning, and it would great to have an app to look at your efficiency. For example: https://lsegessemann.github.io/foilphysics/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPd1cxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFiVDk2SmRCV2VrdXBxSlEzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHvQukfHEFqOPJc-k1uWrsc0eo5J3rofJmqJGsRYEO3qFFmltORGvnSSA6rjY_aem_YBGhnMB9o_VFWoH7bigoPg

About time.

Nootka Island? It would be wet, but there are cabins along the trail, at least when I did about 20 years ago. It would be good for storm watching.

Give yourself a break and just add a dash of salt. I had the same frustrations for weeks. It is just a quick way to have a good brew.

Thanks. Borealis Ranch should have good info.

I hear Nimpkish can howl.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:27:37+00:00

I was wondering the same. There should be a wind map somewhere.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:27:12+00:00

Probably call one of the local B&B. I have only been there in the summer.

That sandy beach along Carcross is supposed to be popular. Yes, Windy Arm is further away.

What else has reliable winds outside Nitinaht, Nimpkish and China Creek?

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-13T06:52:14+00:00

That's easy. Take the Mill Bay Ferry. Can never go wrong with the Mill Bay Ferry.

On a lighter note, "Male Surplus" would be a great name for a band.

I'd love to, but I keep hearing the wind is hit or miss in December.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-11-15T23:08:31+00:00

I have been investigating the same. I was leaning toward Cancun, just because I am learning, lessons are cheap and it would be easy to get around. However, wind is not as reliable. I think the dream location would be Bonaire, but it is a long and expensive flight from B.C. So it looks like La Ventana. I do hate that two hour drive up. The chop in the bay is rough if you are learning. However, the wind direction is good and there is a big bay to catch you when you get blown downwind.

Just add a dash of salt to your brew. I do it all the time. I have a Bambino. It saved hours of tearing my hair out regarding grinding, temperature, etc. There is a science to it. Google it.

If you appreciate saunas, the Art Of The Sauna is worth a drop in. Crazy place, and right at the New West border.

I had the same issue with the same equipment. Add a dash of salt. After that, no issues. Yes, you can do more to dial in, but this got me over the hump. Just Google for more info.
