My buddy and I have been sup dw and going from coyote pt harbor to 3rd Ave in the bay. I feel it’s a good beginner run. So far the conditions that work are upper half of the tide and over 20mph of wind, ebb or flood. We been looking for more people to join us and get a crew together to find all the runs in bay and the ocean runs such as Davenport south. We have lots of potential here in Bay Area and need to get a community of sup dw.
I’ve had my eye on TI to Berkeley for a while but hard to find the second person to coordinate ride situation.
Used a 2500 f4 foil to start out in both flat water paddle ups and the coyote run. Currently using the axis png1150 and my buddy using png1310. Both work really well for the run.
Like your experience I had similar ones towing in ocean and sup dw in bay but every run I feel I’m reading the bumps better and lots of progress.
