    Nice swell on outside. It was alot windier on the outside, but choppy. Inside was lighter but smooth. OK sesh. There were 2 surfers in the shorebreak-maybe they are also using the webcams?

    1.80 hours North Jaime Pro 128*37.4
    Best Yarga 9M
    Arrived at Columbia & it looked too windy for my 9m. Decided to borrow Mattdogs 7m. Upon returning the wind had died down a bit so when out on the 9m. Wind was fairly puffy but as to be expected in that wind strengh. But the swell was just amazing. Huge sets would roll in. Lots of smooth water in between. I love the daylight savings.

    confused swell
    1.50 hours JP Wave 256
    Ezzy Wave 5.0
    Northwave Wave 4.2
    Pipers on a SE is no Columbia but I had a BLAST. 4.2 for a while, got lulled once too many times and upped it to 5.0 - perfectly powered. Nasty head-on beach break. Some waist-shoulder swell on the outside but waves came in all directions - that meant some killer launch ramps! Sailing alone so no loops but worked on table-tops - a couple of decent ones I think. Still can't gybe :oops: .

    4.00 hours JP Freeride 270 90L
    Sailworks Revolution 4.8
    Nice all day session. Wind came and went but was pretty solid for the most part. Lit up a few times on a flattened 4.8 and also slogging a few times as well. Some nice ramps but I can never seem to hit them with any speed at this beach. Lost my rig on one jump :shock: Had a jibe breakthrough today. Something finally clicked and I was nailing some nice powered up jibes. Hope I remember what it was!

    All in all a good session pour moi.

    Wahoo, 1st good session with the Seatrend. :P Also 1st ever decent Willows sail. "New" Ezzy Wave 5.0 very nice: downhaul slipped, overpowered for awhile and struggling, Capt Ahab checked I was OK (thx), went in downhauled more and outhaul, then fun fun fun :lol: Had to cut it short and go back to work. No jibes :roll: but a couple close. Got to work on rolling the rig to outside before flip. Spun out quite a lot, probably too stiff legged with fear!

    got to willows just as Mr Ahab was coming off the water. luckily wind came up a bit. rode the puffs. off and on planing. worked on some old-school stuff like tacks, helis, fin-first, 360s. tried to pop the board off flatwater and made some progress. haven't been at willows for awhile - cool to be 5mins from dinner.

    A good lunchtime session. Strange wind - it was windy but the wind had no real power to it. 2 pathetic back loop attempts, more like butt slaps. Some good backside rides and lip smacks.

    Overpowered the first time out on the 4.7m sail. It is time to buy a smaller board. I bought smaller sails but I also need a 400cm mast to rig the 4.2m sail. Columbia Beach is a great excuse for new gear! Anyone else concure? After an hour break I went out for another 2 runs (I tire easily). I enjoyed surfing accross the waves. Surfing and windsurfing put together are heaps of fun. Best time I have had yet!!

    Spent first 2 hours getting suckered out in gusts on 89L board, practiced lots of sailing knee deep and body drags back. Ended up very long walk of shame from below the concrete outlet. Great when powered in the straps though! Switched to big board, at least it slogs, would have been perfect with 7.5, but OK on 5.8. First for spending much time in waves - did a couple of drops off the break and small turns on mushy white stuff, even that was fun! Tried to get out past bar underpowered a few times, made i ...

    Rigged the 5.0 Retro for the first time and got on the water around 2pm. Promptly returned to shore and rigged the 8.0 Retro. At 3:30 the wind picked up, got a good hour of planing in and finally figured out how to get into the back footstrap comfortably, trick for me is to go for it right away as soon as the front foot is in. Wind calmed down with some planing gusts until 5pm. Saw Steve leaving with a barnacle injury as I was setting up.

    Day 12 at CB for me this winter. What an amazing spot and another great day. Nicely powered on the 4.5 and some great powered up wave rides. Put on the 4.0 and had about 3hrs of comfy sailing. Nice rides even at low tide. Lots of back loop attempts but kept landing on my head.

    So glad that Vancouver trip was cut short. I thought the party was over when I got to CB and everyone was packing up their 4s and heading home. But the wind came back and I was juiced on 5.0 for 2 hours. Couldn't catch a wave to save my life today but had some nice jumps and back loop-like thingies. I don't want this spring to end!
