    1.5m Swell
    1.00 hours Jimmy Lewis Slalom 8'10"
    Sailworks NX 6.65
    Rigged the 9.8 but soon relized that would be way to much. Supper fun on the rollers off the point but couldn't open up the slalom gear as there was so much stuff in the water. Didn't want a repeat of a couple of years ago when I hit a log going 50 km/h and broke everything.

    NP 9.8
    :D A few quick tacks with the 9.8 suggested that the 7.5 would be plenty.... Lots of overpowered screams in the gusts (45.7 kmh by GPS), with sailing getting better into the dusk. Janet is planing in the straps :) (6.0/150L), Michelle spent the evening sorting out upwind sailing (3.5/180L) and Mike had the wildest rides yet on his rig (6.5/180L). We all sailed into the dark, and it really kicked up after dark (>24knts!!). An excellent session!!! :D :D :D

    some fun waves
    1.50 hours Grant Macpherson Custom One of a kind 149
    Ocean Rodeo Bronco 12m
    Gusty! But fun too :) Started out as perfect 12m (17-20?) but by the end was gusting sometimes higher than 25 (judging by the spray from the waves and the odd yank on the kite). Windier aloft too. Definately should have been on the 9 by the end!

    Say, four of you windsurfers gave the EXACT same wind range estimates. Coincidence? Or are people getting lazy :wink:

    :D :D :D How much fun was that!!! Holy Cow!!!

    Rigged up the Formula and Serverne 8.5m and ripped out of the beach, not hooked in and not in the back strap out a long way!!! Got dialed in on the way back in...YIKES that was fast, lets do it again.

    The huge rollers that were coming in off Clover point were amazing!! Had to ride down them sideways or I'd catch air and crash and burn!! Nice sunshine and warmth...could be the last time without the ol' wetsuit. Too nice in shorts and a rash guard!!! YES ... (more)

    Well I got there just as the locals finished a sunny, warm, steady 12M session. I made the wind drop long enough to set up my 14M. Wind came back in strong and punchy. I lasted 5 minutes then came in for the 12M. Back out and the fog came in like winter. Fog horns from the freighters sounding. The seasons seemed to change (about 3 years worth) from summer to winter to summer to winter as the fog swept through. Awesome lighting and colors through it all. The wind steadied out a bit for the second half. Luc ... (more)

    On, Off, On, Off, etc. Didn't feel dialed into the stupid gusts so after about an hour I hit the beach with the newspaper. Hit the road at 1500 and sailed through the border at 2020. Good Times.

    Managed to finally sail at Maryhill after 3 failed attempts throughout the summer. Sailed for an hour on the 5.2. Was a bit up and down and never really came up to what they were forecasting. We decided to bail and hit Lady Luck once again. Had a marginal session on the 4.7 for an hour before we broke out the wobbly pops.

    Hit the Hatchery for the first session on Friday. Spent an hour on 4.7 before the wind dropped and we decided to change venues. Rowena was 4.7 but gusty. Sailed an hour and a half before changing down to the 4.2. The Gman and I spent another hour and a bit between Doug's and Rowena playing in some smooth swell before getting scared and running back up before the wind dropped all together.

    :D Another Fun Friday! Really windy when I first rigged, maybe 18-20+. First jump turned into a kite loop :shock: (initiated UNINTENDED!) but that got my adrenaline pumping for a great time on the water. Lifty wind, and then some good times behind the point. Should have rigged the 12. Nice to be so warm in the sunshine and to see all those smiling faces. Some 37 year old guy kept getting in my way ;) Happy B-Day Grant!!

I blasted over to Clover Point on my first reach out. Blew my jibe and then couldn't get waterstarted for about 10 minutes. Finally got some wind and blasted back over towards Esquimalt. Saw BIG cruise ships just coming in.

    As I was heading back I looked over my shoulder and saw a whale watching boat just downwind of me...as in JUST downwind :shock: . Raced ... (more)

    Weird day, super holy, but some fun rides to be had. Met Rudy from Idaho on the beach and he joined me for a mellow 14 m session. Waves are soooooooooooooooo much fun. Huge sandy beach, so launchng is really safe. Manzanita, OR

    Not nearly as nice as yesterday. Still, the wave riding was fun, but the wind was really gusty. Still a great session. Manzanita, OR
