Got my boogie dinged and pierced at its bottom. The ding was about 5 cm long, 3 cm wide and 5 mm deep. Leaving the board as is could lead to a high probability of delaminating (I think). See how I've got my bodyboard fixed surpassing all my expectations.

Surfing the Great Lakes book mentions Huronview Park which should work on N, NW winds. But I did not find such place on the map. I would think of Canatara Beach See surfspot at Google Maps as the most perspective surf spot in Sarnia, ON, which could work on North winds.

Sauble Beach See surfspot at Google Maps on Canadian shore of lake Huron is a great town for a vacation with nice shops and eateries on Main St. and bunch of cottages here and there. It offers great, long, sandy beach which works best on NW, SW winds. The water is refreshing even in Summer, but still, a very good surf spot. If you have issues with parking, go little bit South to Saugeen Nation beach. For current conditions see surf cam.
