    Good! Very very good!

    The water is not so cold, I'd say no colder than Cook. But the air is kinda chilly.

    I had quite few duck jibes, tried a few tacks (I suck), boomerang, tried 360 initiations, lie down jibe. Fun day!

    Excellent day, too bad I had to be home tonight.

    started the day not so rested as our daughter had a cold which kept us up the night before. My friend, Graham, and I drove to Hi-Tech to check out rental gear. The gear looked excellent, so we decided to rent from them. The forecast was for 10-20, so I grabbed a '05 quattro 85L freestyle board, Graham, a RRD freestyle wave 90. We both got ezzy wave 4.7s and 5.5s, skinnies, pryde booms. Off to Kanaha. Wind was solid 4.7 and somewhat gusty near the shore. Graham was having some trouble getting off the b ... (more)

    It was the [b:75e08f3047]first thermal of the year at Cook St.[/b:75e08f3047], and though it wasn't too windy, it was enough for Mark and I to get some airtime, and quality TOW.

    Weird morning. It was super gusty and turned NW for a bit. One of those days where whatever size kite you were on was the right size for 30 minutes. The gusts were fully lit on the 14 m. Unfortunately I wrenched my knee(hopefully it will sort itself out) Nice and sunny.

    Another great day at CB. 1/2 hr on the 4.5, then it cranked. OP for a while on the 4.0 then it mellowed a bit. Lots of good waverides with some good slashes and mini aerials. My arms are dead today. Two good backloop attempts. Winddoc was doing many fabulous backloops.

    9 day outlook is for high pressure and sun :cry: Hopefully it's not the end of SE's for the season.

    An hour of 5.0 in nice waist to shoulder high stuff then the sea got angry and I was OP on the 4.2 going down the line on some head high sets. First tail-slides on cutbacks - very fun. UNBELIEVABLE DAY. Couple of back loops - too scary for forwards. Glad to have the brain bucket on when my board flipped over and nailed me in the head on a wipeout.

    Best wind I have ever seen on Mill Bay. Started out way over powered and was going way up wind. It calmed down a bit and I was screamin' accross the water. I had so much fun so close to home.

    Well it wasn't 30 knots but it was still fun. I was well powered on my 5.4 for most of the session. MOre wind outside the bay. Couple of nice jumps, jibes getting there. Big bubble near shore made it a slog to the wind. Just myself and Johnny until others joined in late afternoon. COLD and rainy took away from the epic factor. Bring on the warm weather :D

    Got to bed sick or go sailing? I thought "I'll take it real slow" and found a little adreneline cuts all the symptoms! Best I'd felt all week and best fun I've ever had in Bazan - wind was a bit gusty and some dead holes, but planing every run, sometimes all the way down the bay. Almost Nitinat conditions at times. When the wind was up some of the chop started to smooth out and get better spaced, then fun slalom-type blasting. Would have been a real blast on a 100 l board. 28 km sailed, finally over ... (more)
