     I remember uphauling my mistral Malibu in like 1990 1 mile out of
     Crissy. It was blowing around 5.0 with the usual rollers. The board
     flipped over and over, became disconnected from the sail and lifted
     out of the water and over my head repeatedly. Water start was the
     only option resulting in sailing. That much motivation is hard to
     find in calm waters. So go to Crissy or Coyote and try water starting
     way way before I did at the same point.

I'm getting a little bored of Shoreline... what are other options for
a beginning sailor? (still uphauling mostly) Especially, what are
options that still have wind late in the season?
     
I'm told the Foster City Lagoon typically has less wind than
Shoreline. What about Alameda? San Luis Reservoir? Are there
Peninsula sites which are beginner friendly? (Palo Alto? 3rd?)
     
Thanks,
