Help!

I need to prepare an informational write up on each windsurfing site between
the San Mateo Bridge and the Bay Bridge. The info will be used to show the
airport how much of our capacity is threatened and to let them know what
kinds of mitigation would or would not work. For instance, displacing
beginners to a site with offshore wind does not work. I have ideas about the
answers to most of these questions, but I want to see what the community take
is and not risk pulling some bad info out of my backside. The key questions

Capacity - How many on a busy day

Capacity - How many maximum (with parking within a reasonable distance)

Level - What level of sailor does it appeal to/is it safe for

Sailing Quality - Is it more/less consistent, better/worse wind or current
vs. other sites

Tide/Water Level - Is it sailable on all tides or is it difficult at lower
tides (what level)

Development Threat Impacts - Is it subject to development threats (e.g.
Candlestick mall, Flying Tigers) or has it been impacted by development and
to what degree (Third Ave.)

Possible Improvement - Can the site be improved with new parking, launches,
etc.

Sites to consider:

Candlestick
Oyster Point
Flying Tigers
Embassy Suites
Coyote Point
Third Avenue

Respond to wind_talk if you want us to debate your take. Otherwise send me
the info direct.
