    Whole day spent windsurfing - am chasing wind, then 11 till 3 on the water. Started 30% time planing, then got to 80% for a while with Bobson there, then back to about 50%. 2 degrees rising to 6 or 8. Great winter cruising, sailed 42 km, max speed 36 kmph. Dasher's 12 Step Jibe DVD helping lots, even on flare jibes! Couldn't keep up with Bobson's Formula gear!

    5.00 hours Best Nemesis 12m
    Epic day at a newly inaugurated spot in the lee of a long breakwater. Wind angle has to be perfect. A number of records for me. Fastest ride, and possible highest jump. Discovered a new way of jumping to get more air by riding overpowered with bar fully sheeted out. After 4 hours went into overdrive mode where brain stops noticing muscles' fatigue. :D

    Mattdog, Snapper & I decided to try a new location as wind was quite west. First went out for a very overpowered downwind run on the 16M. Insane gusts. Got a ride back & rode butter smooth water for over 3 hrs. The 12M was a much better choice. Wind was up & down but tons of fun. And of course Sunshine! I love it when Env. Canada is wrong.

    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.

    Long day. Came up later than expected but stayed steady for much longer than expected. Not too cold(gotta love SE). Quite steady,perfect 12M weather the whole time. Big swell at times. Finally nailling the kiteloops. Now I just have to try them higher up(sounds painful).

    :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.

    2-3 ft
    1.50 hours Bic Adagio 107
    Ezzy Wave 5.8
    Garmin Foretrex 201
    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.
