You could spend a lifetime driving a VW bus up and down highway 1 finding different waves to ride each day, many people have. There must be 100 hidden secrets between Pacifica and Santa Cruz alone. A couple weeks ago we checked out the American Windsurfing Tour (AWT) at the legendary Waddell Creek. All of the pros came from Maui and the spectacle of talent on the water was amazing.
Just across the street from the wind and waves of the ocean, Waddell Creek winds its way past the largest Redwoods south of the Golden Gate.
Follow the river far enough and you will find a 90ft waterfall.
Were you able to sail! I wish I had gone and competed. Some friends of mine did and said it was awesome! Hope SF is good.
ReplyDeleteI didn't compete but sailed a few days at Waddell and Davenport. Just got back from a trip of camping, hiking and surfing in Big Sur (will post some pics soon). You should come out for the competition next year it was a super fun scene. Pistol River should be awesome too but I can't make it.
DeleteNice! Davenport is awesome. Did you visit Joe at Davenport Surf/Sail?
Deletehow far up is that waterfall?
ReplyDeleteIt's just about 6.5 miles each way (13 total) and you can also bike it but be prepared for some obstacles. Here are some details about leaving from Waddell beach, BA Hiker Berry Creek Falls. You can also enter the park from the mountains RedWoodHikes.com is a good source.
