About 20miles off Ucluelet.

While on the subject of places we'll never kite, Smith Island looks epic, waves one side, butter the other. But 5km off Whidbey and a marine sanctuary.

Check the v.i. map under current conditions. It's a bank (shallow) about 15 miles off long beach. You cant drive there!

Smith Island, you mean Shit Island... everytime i sailed close to it when going & returning from Port Townsend, I could smell the smell coming out of the swell/wave/wakes!! victoria's outpipe? PT or Whidbey outpipe? couldn't tell by the smell...!!!

beside that, very nice roller in that area ....!!! that indeed goes untouched...

thanks for bringing back good sailing memories....!!!

just because a place has a weather station doesn't mean it's an ideal place to windsurf or kiteboard :idea:
