    Last minute decision to take a study break payed off. Wind was fluky. First was underpowered then kept building & building. When I left the water, as it was getting dark, I couldn't get back to the shore(wind is offshore at Pipers). As soon as I would take the board off my feet I would get dragged downwind or lifted. So I ended up pulling the safety in 2 feet deep water. Lots of fun though.

    1st time at Cattle Pt. Wind straight out of Cadboro Bay = next stop Discovery Is or Pt Angeles if you can't stay to windward. 39 km/h fastest speed, only 11 km sailed. 3 deg C, hands numb 1st sesh, fine on 2nd. Made all but 1 jibe - mostly ugly but dry. Uphauled once to avoid going in water. Wouldn't wanted to try it from this direction on a less floaty board - very light and flukey near boat launch.

    :D Big kite and Cabal SX51 skimboard. Skimboard goes upwind better than a normal board and can be ridden backwards like a TT or jibed. Once I got the feel for it its a lot of fun and has a smooth ride. If you can keep your kite in the air, you can plane on this board - great. :D

    Rathtrevor is waist depth so far out will check it out on a real blow, should be great for learning new stuff.

    Sweet. Even better than the big Oct '03 day. Nicely powered on the 4.0, although a little light at the end. Great rides, a few from the point down to the stop sign, had one with 7 bottom turns. It looked like Maui north - the spacing between the waves was huge. Note to self: if Sheringham > 30, good MM5 + good swell/period then head to JR.

    caught last of SW wind, a couple of nice runs, then veered W and went super gusty. Near voodoo chop. 1st catapaults in a year - only injury a split in the 5.8. Cruising to suddenly nothing fall-to-windward, then realize almost smoke (25 kt+) on going to waterstart :shock: . Come up verrrryyyy slow, feet way back! Sore arms from fighting the gusts. Garmin says 22 km sailed, max speed 39 km. Didn't land any jumps, too upwind and spun all of them on landing.

    About 20-25 kts when I arrived. After 30 min picked up to 25-30. At one point a rain squal came through and it was 30-35. Wind was actually fairly steady, better than Sunday. Wind came in waves rather than punchy, nasty wind. Wind was contantly shifting from SE to ESE.(Entrance wind sensor makes no sense says : 16-19kts while I was out)

    It was awesome!

Sailed for an hour before it started to drop then rigged the 5.6- only got about 15 min. on that as it petered out. Dave stayed out on his 11.5m kite for anotherhour or so.

    Wind was quite Southerly so there was a large wind shadow on one side of the lagoon. Was blowing 20 and fairly steady when I arrived but quickly rose to 25 with gusts in the low 30s. Biggest jumps ever :)

    Tried friends new 'Tactile' prototype. Wicked board! Rode better than my board in the gusty stuff.

    Water had much more chop than I've seen there before, lots of whitecaps on the lagoon at times(normally butter). Insanity on the outside.

    Columbia was all time today. 5-6' ramps on inside, logo and larger on outside. Landed one backloop on the 4.5 and one on the 4.0. Waterstarted out of one more. Wave riding was high quality. Best day I've had windsurfing! Sorry to hear IV Chestered everyone - that bites. :evil:

    Never believe forecast for afternoon wind. Too late to Bazan, Bobson suckered me out for 2 hours of schlogging, pumped to plane a couple of times. Little puffs kept me hoping, but went to 0 at end. Tried Bobsons Fanatic 295 133 litre - nice light air board. Stopped by IV on way home, looked way better than Bazan, rerigged and went out - less wind than it looked, 7.5 barely planed up.
