Intermediate wing rider; downwind route remains observational

Hazards

Mushy Gulf waves made prone foiling difficult, and the observed downwind line toward Mustang Island has no published endpoint, shuttle or recovery detail.

Parking & access

Use a legal Port Aransas jetty/beach access; the forum does not identify a preferred lot or downwind landing.

“Progression Project forum first-hand winter trip report confirms repeated wing sessions at the Port Aransas jetty in roughly 12–25 mph wind. Mushy Gulf waves were difficult for prone foiling; a separate observed downwind line continued toward Mustang Island.”
