I've hauled out there twice just for a rest stop and a drink of water. Nice spot...I would definitely launch there if I lived south of Emeryville. The seaweed can be a little slippery. |

yes, SWELL in berkeley, maybe it was the ebb tide. in any case we had rolling, breaking waves that you could prob. catch on a surfboard. it seems these conditions are quite common in berkeley with a 24+ breeze.
hey.....any tips for staying in control in the berkeley chop? my naish titan 111 seems to get pumelled by it. need some suspension! mast track all the way forward maybe? |

chibi, try a smaller fin and better stance/technique. Or smaller board. Gotta go, it picked up again!

Wow, grassy area, showers, and a cobblestone path! sounds like some big improvements have occurred since Emeryville was my primary launch (about 5 years ago). I'm now in Kailua. It's similar in some ways to the East Bay - light to moderate onshore winds, but has warm, clean water and year-round sailing conditions.

Yes definatly much smaller board, 111L is a tank. You'll find it's much easier and fun in solid wind, once you're used to a smaller board. |

Launched from Emeryville yesterday and it was great except the bottom of the stone path was super slippery. Not a beginner spot since there's a boat channel right there and you have to be pretty precise coming back to the launch since it's only about 6 feet wide.
Sailed way out pass the old broken docks and the swells were nice but it was spooky with the fog rolling in and the fact that I was the only one out there
Anyway thanks for sharing Brett.
