Also known as brown Maui, Washoe has the most consistent wind in the region and silty brown water that is like foiling on a lake of coffee that is full of cream. The North Boat Ramp is the place to go. Wingfoilers and windsurfers usually park closer to the boat ramp while kiters park farther east to stay away from the non-watersport users. Washoe is a great place to learn - warm water, side-onshore conditions, an enormous beach make it quite safe and beginner friendly. It is common for see a few to several dozen people on the water and the community is strong so please ask anyone if you have questions. This is where Tahoe foil source will ofter bring the mobile showroom and demo trailer if you want to try before you buy.

PRO TIPS

• WINDS ARE UP AND DOWN IN THE MOUNTAINS - IF IT DIES A BIT, HANG OUT AND IT MAY COME BACK UP. SUNSET SESSIONS ARE COMMON.

• FRONTAL WINDS CAN BE TOO MUCH. LAKE LAHONTAN CAN BE A BETTER OPTION DURING THESE CONDITIONS.

• WASHOE IS SHALLOW. DROUGHT YEARS OR LATE IN THE SEASON, THE WATER LEVEL CAN BE TOO LOW TOO FOIL. CHECK THE BLOG FOR UPDATES.

• IF YOU FOIL WASHOE, YOU WILL HIT FISH. SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS AND THEY TEND TO CONGREGATE.
