Hi. After a couple decades of sailing and/or living in Hood River, I have relocated for the near future in Park City, and not willing to give up sailing, I purchased a windsurf hydrofoil. So far I've only gotten out a couple times, and just missed the reasonable wind at Deer Creek. I started at the kiter's beach, but that's a looooong walk with foil equipment. Then I discovered Charleston Beach, which looks perfect, but the weeds are pretty bad, especially with a foil. I've driven past Island Beach, but it looks rather enclosed by the giant monolith. Where would locals recommend I launch for ease of access and without wind shadow?
It looks pretty good for tomorrow, Saturday, Aug 10 and I was thinking about trying Jordanelle. How does that compare to Deer Creek and what is the best launch site? I've read the site descriptions under "Local Sites" but the details are a bit sparse.
Also, a few weeks ago I left a folding 2 step stool at the kiter's beach at Deer Creek. Didn't get back out there for awhile, and to no surprise it wasn't there. I've heard it might have been turned into somebody named "Spencer" but I don't know how to contact him. Any ideas?
Thanks!
