    Awsome Sesh :D :D :D

    Really gusty, but the pullyed bridal on the Sonic handled it fantastically. Would not have wanted to be out there on a C-kite. :wink: (Ryan)

    Lots of nice waves appearing all over the place, even rode a few of them for a short ways 8) . Trying to stay on the water still because of the ribs, but some fun unintentional launches off a couple of big steep ramps. :)

    Managed to stay upwind during some 16-18kn lulls. Really loving the 8M GK Sonic :P

    Hmmmm..... WNW. First time sailing that wind at Invermere. Wind hole near shore, and much gustier then a typical NW. Wind blows mostly side shore/slightly off shore, enough to bring up a significant amount of sea grass and created a series of 'grass lines' that made planning pretty much impossible near shore.

    Much nicer further out in the straight where there was less debris and steadier wind. Needed the big gear to get out there, but somewhat OP in the straight.

    Died completely just after noon. Coast ... (more)

    A little sloppy with kite and board skill at first but picked it up after 15 mins or so. :roll:

    No pain from the rib! But my zipper on my wetsuit broke :cry:

    Nice mellow 5.0 session. Due to various recent harness line expiry's, today I sported asymmetrical harness lines. The different lengths were good to try out, and I think the longer lines are the way to go. Just have to wait till I break my current stock (which should be another few sessions). Good fun and some half decent swell.

    That was a fun day - definitely worth taking a day off work even if the waves weren't great by CB standards. I counted 20 boards on the water at one point... good turnout for a weekday. Got on the water before 1pm with the 5.5 and it was already enough for a 4.7 on the outside. By 3pm it kicked up on the inside as well so I spent the rest of the session on my 4.7. Brought my drysuit just in case but didn't need it. :D

    Worth the Cannonball run drive! Rigged the 5.3 and stayed slightly overpowered for over half the session. Landed one ok backie and close on many others. Saw Bean sky a hilarious over-rotation on one backie. Great crowd of windsurfers and a young new face (Riley?) who is already a ripper. Look out Ozy and Paul, this kid is going to dominate CB if he keeps it up!

    What a great day. Not too cold and it got windy after starting on the big board for a half hour. Seemed like I got the best of the afternoon. Came in at 4:30 when it started to get a bit puffy.

    On the down side, with all these harness line discussions lately, I realize my lines might be a bit short for CB conditions. Although they seem perfect for flatter conditions. :roll: The full on catapult, body slam, I can't breath for 2 minutes, had nothing to do with this sudden embarrasing realization. :shock:

    Nice! Nice! Nice!

    Friendly CB at its best with water on the rock bar, enough wind for an extended session, and decent ramps for jumping. Had a 7 cut back ride below the main bar - FUN!

    Many usual suspects, and a first day for Riley, who ripped it up out there.

    I'll sleep well tonight!

    Nice birthday gift - able to snag an after work session at CB.

    It was great to see everyone and remeber that I am more than just an empty shell of a burnt out teacher who deals with high school students everyday.

    I realize my teaching may actually help my windsurfing as all the pent up work stress was able to be unleashed on the water and I was carving more aggressively and jumping more than usual. Unfortunately no jibes though.

    If only I could windsurf everyday, maybe I could take my students fartin ... (more)

    Great fun - wind heated up just as I left. Put yet another hole in my sail. Very close on several back loop attempts, and some dry but not very slidey vulcans. The last week of subzero nights have made the water rather cold, but definately not complaining about todays Chinook.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Dawn patrol paid off, and I had a short, sweet, solo session. Gwind and John hung around on the beach for most of the session, and Dave/Adrian showed up late to get me firmly entrenched in the dog house (thanks for the coffee Dave). Decent swell/jibes on the outside, two rides on the inside, two rowdy sea lions forced a downwind landing (seemed a bit too friendly for my liking...) NICE!!!!

    Sweeet!!!! So nice to be back on the water. I've been MIA for over a month. We bought a new house and took possession end of August. September was all about minor reno's and so busy I completely ignored the forecasts and wind conditions since getting out on the water wasn't much of an option. Moved in last week and that kept us busy for a while, but life is finally starting to come back to normal....

    Our new place is just down the road from the steps at the end of Invermere. Took the gear out of the gara ... (more)

No backie possibilities on port at this place, bummer :cry: Happy to see no 4' fins today :P

    :D :D Wow. What a different place than Saturday. Big wind, big steep chop, and some nice meaty swells :twisted: The wind was up and down a lot but it wasn't punchy. The outside looked huge but it was hard to access with the flood tide. Big bubble at the shore made things interesting at times as well. Reminded me of Willows on a big day.

    Had some gear issues today :? Little board felt like it had an anchor on it at times. Not sure what that was all about. Might've been the new fin. Sail felt funny too. ... (more)

    Weird wind direction but.... really the only place we could go out locally. Joined by Windsurfish for a fun session , at times. From almost no wind to 25 knots and some nice jumps. Oh, sunny and very warm, kind of like summer!

    :)
