SSYC might be light on the shore. Grant park? Racine?

I just checked SSYC and Grant. SSYC was light and side shore, looked like it might be a pain to stay up wind. Grant was looking pretty good, stronger wind and a little more side on. Ill be heading back to grant here in a bit.
I have never been to Grant before. Do you park in the beach parking and just launch right from the swimming beach
@Jacob Odders there's usually room to launch on north side of beach. I'm hoping to get down there later this afternoon if the wind cooperates
Yes, Grant park best launch is north with parking in lot. However, if foiling especially with wing, launching/landing on south end south of stream/break is easier, but need to walk equipment across stream whis is inconvenient but not that bad to avoid wave break area. I am enjoying my back yard today.
It worked for a while, but then dropped off. Jake and I got good rides in, but by the time Jacob went out, both guys ended up downwind.
Back yard up & down a bit, but all together a nice session. Glad I didn't bring gear to big pond... Things should improve soon, it is September! ;)
Well that didn't work out as planned.
Hit SSYC around mid afternoon, when it was quite solid, but it dropped shortly after heading out & was stranded on the pebble beach south of the Terrace, with kite in the air waiting for wind. Almost decided to drop it in the water and walk it home, but after 15 mins wind came back.
Was lit for about 15 mins with some good air, then it dropped again, but this time I was ready and upwind of the beach.
Called it after that & drove to Grant just out of curiosity- it was definitely steadier than SSYC but didn't need to test it any further.
