    Without a long drive I had a very good, but short session. If it had been just 15 min it still would make my day :D. I went for a FL and it wasn't scary, just jump and sheet in. Too bad I didn't have may back hand back enough.

    "Woo hooo, let's do it again!!!!"

    Also a couple of wave rides were just a toppings on the cake.

    Ezzy Wave SE 5.0
    :D

    Worth the drive! Big swell, strong wind. Overpowered much of the session. One forward, lots of backloops. Hands were too numb to hang on to most of the landings. Had some good smacks and got smacked a few times. Saw Dave launch a great backloop into a nose first landing, but he couldn't quite pull it off. Close!

    I was impressed with Alex and Mattdog riding a 7.5 kite in the peak winds!

    First day using the Martin strap system. Super comfy and easy to adjust. Worked especially well with booties.

    Best ever IV session. Perfect windstrenth for the 9m(except towards the end, the gusts got a little out of hand). Nice swell on the outside and well formed waves on thesandbank. It just got better and better. You could actually ride the waves and not worry about being pulled onto shore through a bunch of logs.

    Nice little session. Showed up just before 1pm and it was absolutely honkin'. Kus was out on his small board so I knew it was windy. I rigged a 4.8 as it's the smallest sail I own. I was overpowered but it was manageable. It died off for a while and then came back to a nice 5.0 for about an hour. Sailed out past Cattle Point and found some nice steep ramps. Jibes were OK today. A bit gusty but otherwise a fun, sunny session.

    Ezzy Wave 5.0
    Solid Columbia day except for the jarring death chop. Didn't have my A game on today but a big overrotated back loop off a steep breaker and got the ragdoll catapult on my only forward attempt. I had a good trip through the rinse cycle too on what was supposed to be my nirvana wave. In the doghouse for playing too long.

    Good fun. Finally landed another backloop. No foot tweaks today 8) .

    Trev inspired me to do some forwards at the end of my session when the tide came in and the swell was building. Tried one on nearly every run out. Some were less pretty than others :evil: Good turnout!

    Long session of teasing wind - powered part of the time, it would drop, I'd think about coming in, then it would puff enough for a planing run and I'd stay out. Better wind near the end. Only fell on a few (5?) gybes, some OK, none really planing. 38.2 kmph max, 42.1 km sailed.

    :D Another great day at CB. Sailed the acid for the first time - love it. Very fast and controlable and great for jumps. Was windy when I got there at 10 and stayed up all day. Surface conditions were good till 3pm then got quite choppy with the flood tide- seems bass ackwards to me. Chris, Trev, Dave, Paul and others doing tons of loops. 8)

    Another great CB session. Lots of back loop attempts, landed on gear a few times and some good wave rides earlier on. Feet are shredded from walking on barnicles in low tide. I really don't want these SE winds to end.

    Nice for the 1st 1.5 hours. The current allowed you to go wherever you wanted to. Nothing amazing in this session, exept it was good to have a decent length session again. The later crowd missed it as it was almost impossible to stay upwind with the strong current on the incomming tide.

    Got lucky on the early session and caught the best wind of the day. Strong gusts, but the new OR 14M handled beautifully! One of the best swells over the sand bar today. Ugly chop and knarly current on the outside. As usual, Jim was first on the water. Later Gareth showed up then a handfull of other guys. A really fun session! :D
