    Good Sailing for the first bit, then lighter, then a looooooooooooooong walk back. Nice to get out. Waited a while, then de-rigged and headed home. My greeting was - why are you home, they are sailing at CB? I have a great partner - so back to CB.....

    Wahoooo!, best session for a long time. Got out right at 11:11, thought about my dad's 5 years in the RAF and my grandfathers in the WWI trenches. IV weather station accurate? I was just nicely powered most of the time, came in OP but just manageable when the station record shows 25 knots. Seems like a lot for a 7.0 Started to rig small stuff then noticed it was backing off, so finished up still on the big gear. Made all jibes but one, a couple planed out of, some nice little wave rides. Should have ... (more)

    Ezzy SE Wave 5.2
    Glad we hit it early. Maybe getting a little tired of sailing my big stuff but it was still fun. Some okay wave rides but the wind was pretty light inside. Felt bad for the late comers from Victoria.

    When the wind dropped Dunkinguy and I surfed the remaining waves that were rolling in. The best East Coast surfing I have ever done. Thanks for the ride and the loan of the surf board brah!

    dumping walls of hate
    2.00 hours Starboard EVO 74
    Severne Blade 4.7
    Despite the long morning waiting for the quiche to be ready, and looking at perfect reeling waves at Cox Bay, the wind held on for our late start. Doc, Vadardog and I arrived at Incinerator and Doc was wavering between 5.3 and 4.7. We decided on 4.7 and Vadardog took out the 10. The second we hit the water it was apparent how windy it really was. None of us really got outside as there didn't ever appear to be an outside. After accepting the fact that it was just a bit too full on and that we should st ... (more)

    2.00 hours Starboard Evo 74 7'6"
    Hotsails Maui Superfreak 4.7
    Woke up to big wind in Tofino. Wolfed down some tasty quiche and hit LB with Vadardog and Dunkinguy. Initial conditions were intense but seemed sailable, so we all launched within a few minutes of scoping the scene. It quickly became apparent that the conditions were more serious than we'd anticipated. The large, short period waves were breaking randomly with dumb luck trumping skill in the race to make it out any real distance off the beach. Usually a marauding black wall of a wave would be lurking in the ... (more)

    Ocean Rodeo Diablo 12
    First time I didnt get skunked at IV. Did get teased all day though.

    Showed up to 8m wind, then died to 15m, then nothing, then 15, then 12, then 15 :roll: . This trend went on for a while. Got out on the water early and did a few reaches but kept losing ground :? . Big crowd showed up later. Got a solid 1/2hour of 20 kn and tried a few front rolls(landed the third one! :P ). Wind died after that and never came back. Not nearly as forecast...but a day on the water is better than one on land :wink:

    Felt amazing to get back on the water again!

    First time at Boundary Bay and i have to say it's a pretty sweet place. 25+ guys out on the water today!

    was a little light here and there, but managed to pull all the old tricks.

    i guess from the sandbars there were some knee high waves forming on the outside, had some super fun runs coming in!!!

    Speaking of DWD who knew you could land a board that flat and hard and still sail away...I'd offer winddoc less for that baby :shock:

    Fun session! Really up and down at first and hard to stay upwind. It finally filled in and steadied out around 1pm. Surprisingly big waves for the amount of wind. Some fun loops and wave rides. TheLaw getting lots of great rides and taking out a few people that were in his way. DWD with some sweet shuvit into unintentional forward attempts. Mattdog tearing apart the swell as we left. Great turnout, lots of happy people at the end of the day. More just like that please. Thanks for the beer GWind.

    Best formed waves I've seen at CB in a yr. Excellent turnout. Thanks Gwind for the Brewery sponsor contribution. Wind was slow to start, pulsed up and down, then cranked for the last part of the session. Nice waver rides on the inside and swell cruising/jibes on the outside. I'm tired, and smiling, like everyone else there today....

    Almost went home, then it came. Saw this couple named Winddoc and Steph. show up and case the joint, then they left to sail the SE at Longbeach. Perfect 6.0 CB. :) Eastside and Adrian and a guest kiter from Squamish shared the wind. One nice launch on a rogue ramp into a lull gave me ~8' to fall on my back. Tomorrow?

    Everyone showed up except the wind. Musta been a dozen cars in the parking lot and at least that many boards on the water, all windsurfers since the kiters launch in boundary bay.

    Wind was thinking about turning on all morning but the driving rain won out and it fizzled around noon. Brrr cold.

    Redeemed the day :D bit OP for a while so I finally rigged 4.7 for smoother wave riding, what a diff the Kaos makes but it kicked down again so I went back, died shortly thereafter. Birdman was making the break look pretty mouse, slashing it up from top to bottom when there were a few good ones. What's On and SuperDave rippin' inshore.
