Okay, that was fantastic...well, except for the 4 degrees. Saw the multiple OSR's today from the OG's. Decided the last one saying 'Willows is doable', not the most positive but still enough to get me to leave work for some TOW. Headed straight there and saw 2 or 3 Wings, I was so pumped didn't look too closely as the water conditions looked GREAT! 15+ kts and mostly flat water. Decided the 5.2m Flyer was the WOC (Wing of Choice). HA! Had to walk out a ways as the tide was going out, so I headed out and foiled right away. Wind was pretty solid and basically just stayed inside the bay between MTI and CP. Headed around the yellow buoy off CP and there was some swell coming in there. Some sticks in the water so had to keep an eye out. Lots of WooHoo's as ripping back and forth was so much fun! Had to come in after almost an hour as I couldn't see what was in the water anymore as it was getting dark and the Wings had all left so it was a bit lonely. I saw HighRocker, Mtnarg, and Greg(needs a nickname) out there but when I came off the water, Greg was gone. weird!?!? Packing up my gear, I was able to see/feel how crappy the conditions actually were. It was cold (4 degrees) and raining hard with lots of wind. Definitely 20+ for the last 1/2 session. I'll take it though. Hitting each gybe and not getting wet is pretty fantastic!!
BOBSON OUT!!
ps. The giving up Corona's didn't last very long. Slurrrrp! Ahhhhh! So Good!
