One thing about the narrow strip is if the wind turns suddenly, you can get stuck at the wrong end, as happened to me last time I went there - with the added problem of the wind dropping 10kts at the same time... Took me an hour to get back as I was on my wave board and sinking the whole time. Anyway, planning to head there tomorrow if the wind's good.
PS
@actiomax exactly the same thing happened to me - fin caught on something softish, I went over the front, and convinced I'd hit something large and fishy I waterstarted in about 2 seconds - only realizing after that it must have been a rope..!
