Annie,

Ditto what Jeff says regarding Palo Marin, although I noticed it was
recently pictured in a Magazine (nuff said).

Also, Palo is VERY remote and is definately not be sailed alone, and has
a rocky break which can be very tricky at low tide.

Waddell is a good spot to learn, although it can be a little dicey in
the spring with puffy wind, large swell, and rocks. Better to wait
until the sandbar has built back up in the summer and the waves are
tame.

The bottom line for learning wave sailing, bring extra masts and leave
your ego at home.

Good Luck!

Jon

Annie,

Wadell is probably the best place to learn because the break is right
off the
beach and you can rest easily, but because of your location, I would go
to
Limantour. I hear that the new sand bar is close enough to the launch
to be
convenient. If you sail upwind to Tuba, you will find the best
beginning wave
sailing in California.

I don't know who you were talking to, but if they new about Palo Marin,
you
should probably listen to what they have to say. Palo Marin is
virtually
unknown so those that know about it are generally very knowledgable. It
has
never been mentioned on this email list before (and hopefully will never
be
again). Once you get into wave sailing you will be glad if it is still
a
basically unknown spot since uncrowded breaks are almost impossible to
find -
so please keep this spot quiet. For a beginning wave sailing spot it
isn't
too bad, but you have to hike down to it, their can be a bit of a
windshadow
too.

Good luck with your wave sailing, and don't use equipment that you are
afraid
to break (because you will). Unfortunately hammering is just part of
being a
begginer so I can't help you with that.

Thanks.

Jeff

Any suggestions for a beginner wave sailor in northern California. I can't
make the journey to the west coast of Baja until next spring and I want to
learn about wave sailing now. I live near Bodega Bay and have been reading
about Wadell, Tuba and the new sandbar etc. and Palo Marin. I don't want to
get hammered too bad in the surf (at least not the first few times), so
which of these places would offer the best conditions for a beginner?
Thanks, Annie
