| Details | Took a quick peak at the Webcam and saw some wind so decided to go even though the forecast was less than stunning. Arrived at 4:15pm to 10-12kts on inside and maybe 15ish outside. Rigged up quick, had a quick chat with The Pope about his Toeside then hit the water. Amazing view towards the Sooke mountains and there was a large plume of smoke and a big what looked like, water bomber. The wind was good to begin with meaning 12-15kts on the outside. Headed down to Trial and came off the foil and it was a bit lighter so had issues to get back on the foil right away. Lots and lots of tide there too felt like foiling through a washing machine. Waited for a puff and got back on it, tried heading upwind and made it back almost to the beach and then Rupp-Dogg came out so I went back out and grabbed another puff and it was good for another 40 mins and then it started to get lighter so headed back in and made it to within 100m from shore then schlogged the rest. started to de-rig and it was completely dying down to nothing and The Ruppster was doing the paddle in. It was a pretty good session, almost got my 30kms. He was ripping pretty quick on his DW board. Marky-Mark arrived walking his gear in with nothing on the inside and a sad look on his face. Ruppy made it back in and The Pope showed up again with the Pope-mobile. We all chatted on the beach for 10 mins and the bubble popped and the wind came in again. Not a gale but maybe 10-15kts again. I headed home for an Iced Cold Corona. YUMMY!! BOBSON OUT!! [from Session Log on Tuesday July 23, 2024] |
