water tanks? I know the outlet (or is it an inlet?) lets out just south of
where the old launch site is.
On issues like these, does anyone know whether there are environmental groups
out there monitoring these types of situations? I know that the Surfriders
Foundation has been pretty active about access and water quality issues for
surfers, but I've never heard of one for windsurfers. Perhaps the SFBA or
other local boardhead group should get together with the Surfriders so that we
can protect local sailing sites from these type of mishaps, or at least, inform
the boardhead population.
