    A good day for the windsurfers. Not much wind low on the water for the kite but plenty up high. Big holes and big gusts. Went for some very intense downwind rides with the gusts! Still a very fun day!

    Gusty and lumpy but a really fun day. After Morewind chanted: "BigGayDave, BigGayDave, BigGayDave", I managed to try 3 forwards on the big board. Getting the rotation no problem, just need the board to come with me. It's a start anyway.

    Tried a slalom session (6.6 and 85l) at cook first - miserable failure followed by swim and bozo walk. Not to be outdone, moved to Ross Bay and got in an hour on the door. Very tight chop in the river off clover. Lots of logs. Steve would have liked it.

No bad crashes :P Give THanks! Wished I'd brought the 4.0 for a while, actually blown off the water for ... (more)

    Awoke to a giant FOGBANK :shock: Whitecaps started at about 9:30 and just kept on coming. My wife took the first session and was blown off the water by about 11:00.

    I went out with my 6.8 and small slalom board to see if I might be able to hold it down for the afternoon races. I had 2 scary overpowered trips across the lake and decided I'd better rig down. I grabbed the 5.4 which was good for about an hour and then it was just nuts.

    I came in to rig something smaller and actually considered the 4.0 ... (more)

Beautiful non-hate kinda day, nice waves and water, no traffic on (few swiftsure types) or off water which was great!! Few Heli attempts, couple of looping thoughts with no result :(

    What a difference a day/fogbank can make. Was out on the 5.2, very overpowered and decided to do one more run, them rig down. Of course i get thrown and dinged the nose of my board again. So the day was over that. More board repair for me.

    One of the best days I've had at Gordons! Spent the first two hours on the 9M. Nice waves and some swell too. Lots of lift today made for the highest jumps for me so far. A little scary but ohhh they felt good. John and Grant W. were jumping sky high all afternoon on 12's! Martin came out and Christina did both a windsurfing session then a kite session. The last hour on the 12M was real smooth. Saw the HMCS ORIOLE cruise by, and several other swiftsure yachts passed.

    Chop & some good lifters
    3.00 hours Electric Rock 102L
    Ezzy wave 4.7
    Way too much float on the e-rock! Time to acquire a smaller board..

    I was practicing my lifts, flying off the top of the lip and getting some good air.

    Jibes are not there yet. With all the chop it was difficult. I am just starting to consistantly get the board around but I am still losing my balance. My footing is still not good.

    Best wind I have ever seen at Nitnat!

    Not sure what the inflow direction is. I guessed West.

    No wind until about mid afternoon. Sunny and hot though. Broke the zipper on my wetsuit as I was doing it up :( It ended up being a nice vent for the heat though. Pretty laid back session.
