    First session in port this year,nice change of scenery.The call from Indian Dog Millionaire caught me by surprise,saying it was blowing 25-30 at noon. Zero to overpowered at times,plenty of wind though.Even some stand up waves at times.Can not call this place SanPariel West but sure nice to get a Tuesday afternoon in the sun.Feels like the beginning of summer now. Locals say May and June are the best months here.

    Can't complain too much about being able to sail after work. Wind and waves were a bit on the underwhelming side but still fun. Good vibe on the water today, except from Winddoc who didn't smile at all.

    Thanks to id and ur for the calls. I guess the reason the wind speed was 15 one moment and 22 the next was because the wind speed was actually 22 one moment and 5 the next. Had lots of fun though. Semi fresh water was nice. First time in Port this year. :) FYI I think it is actually about 5 knots more on the water than the reading. So hoping for some company this year. Kitesurferdale needs to practice his pier launching technique.

    First day out in non-wavesailing conditions this year. I think maybe waves are more fun than Chop Street. Powered up most of the time on my floaty board. As was already mentioned went over the falls on an inside wave....who thought that could happen.

    All-in-all pretty much ruled it as usual. Hopefully the crew can keep up!

    Blast with the 4.7 but that lasted only 1/2hr, died off, even 5.3 was kinda marginal. Still planing around & catching a few waves, bigger nicer ones mostly got away due to lack of powa :x some smoothies I did catch, visited Kook stairs but the wind sucked even harder up there. Nice to see What's On back slashin' :P

    Fun sail in the sun overall, even managed two high speed certain-crash-n-burn backloops for the front row :roll: woohoo, love those skipping along the wavetops

    So there is almost no wind here and not supposed to be any until the weekend.

    To make the best of whatever there is, grabbed a SUP and a 5.5m, messed around with the paddle for awhile, caught some waves, then sailed for a few more hours. No Ferrari of a ride, but it requires WAY less effort to catch waves than paddling! Still fun, but hoping for some wind.

    Not the best wind but the Supa-Freak sure feels so much softer and gentler than my other full-Xply sails, sorta like a the difference between th ... (more)

    Got out for a few hours in the afternoon and had fun blasting back and forth just enjoying the ride. Lake was pretty flat again so I wasn't able to work on my loops :lol: Wind piped up at dinner and I stayed out for a super powered slalom session on the 6.8. Fun day. Good times on the beach and around the campfire as always :D :D

    Great day up at the lake! 8) A little underpowered for the first half hour, but then it blew till dark. Ripped on the 11m for a bit then came in and helped Ashley body drag. She is a quick learner and did very well. A couple tries with the board then the wind picked up and was too much for her. I went out on the 8m for a bit, then it died off ( of course :roll: ). Took the 11m out with the mako surf and had a lot of fun. Precariously close to dry gybes but not a single one yet :( . Took out the freestyle b ... (more)

    After a great day of downwinders with the kite, was having a beer and hanging out on the beach taking photos of Kevin (kiting on 16 M) and Rob windsurfing. Only two left on the lake.

    Wind really picking up 6pmish, and Alyssa offered to watch the kids.

    JF and I suited up in our wet, cold wetsuits, and jumped on the windsurfers.

    A little overpowered, but easy water starts, and fun. The beer helped to relax me for my first time on the w/s since Cabarete (4 months ago).

    Great, typical Nitinat summer day. Required sunscreen.

    3 downwinders sessions with the board :D

    Getting a little better every time. Need to be more aggressive with my powerstroke, or as MartyD and Stammy tell me, 'need some balls'. My men's small wetsuit has room for them :wink:

    Second launch, my chicken loop released (and was riding unattached to the bar) and had to land the kite just after I started. Thanks Trevor for helping grab and re-set up my kite.

    First day of the Nitinat season. Had a late start but managed to milk an hour out of the dying wind. Pretty stokeless session but always good to get out at the lake. 8)
