Another issue of these proposed nets would be their effect on the down
wind cove, below the parking lot. Most of us that are advanced sailors
don't spend much time there, but for new intermediates and first time
short boarders, this area is a great spot to learn water starts, and
basic short board techniques in a safe, shalow area. The nets may shut
this down, creating an even worse dead zone. Not to mention that the
old launch area (by the blue tanks) acts as an overflow launch when the
parking lot is full. 50' high nets would probably have an effect there
as well (at least when the wind is more westerly).
