ROCKY POINT LAUNCH
ACCESS BLOCKED

The parking area is blocked but you can carry your gear down to the launch from the gate.

Meet at the Beach - BABA members and friends are encouraged to come out and windsurf, sail or SUP. This is a great time to hang out with your BABA friends and enjoy a day on the water. We also encourage and provide help, inspiration and support to begining windsurfers. If you've just bought a bunch of gear and are still learning to rig and tune we can help you! There's always a good crowd at BABA Races, and it's a great time to check out an unfamiliar launch with experienced windsurfers around. Check the Notice of Race for the day's event for specific details.
