When the water between JJ's and Black Mtn is at really high tide, it is fun to cruise in the estuary. And if the water is really calm I can stay out 45 mins at a time.
When it is rough 15-20 minutes max, then park it, get a refreshment sit in my shaded beach chair and watch others hurt themselves.
I just wish when I see the water is like glass it would stay that way for me, but by the time I finally launch 2 hours later the wind is starting to pickup and the waves start.
Since I own a couple of ski's it is on my schedule anyway.
