    Ocean Rodeo Rise 12m
    A catch as you can kind of day.

    Worked on the bridal mods on the 12m Rise. Thanks, Ross.

    Light wind but the mods definitely made a difference.

    managed to get upwind for a bit, a few jumps and turns but the wind decided to disappear rather abruptly.

    Made it back to the beach though!

    messy chop then sm. waves
    1.50 hours Ocean Rodeo ONE 12m
    Light at first, then a bit stronger later. Choppy water and uninspired kiting for the most part, but good to get out on the water and get some excercise. Used the Mini Mako for the whole session and was very impressed with its upwind ability. Equal to or better than most boards that are much bigger - it makes maximum use of its length and concave.

    North Voodoo Wave 4.7
    stepped into the water closer to 6 than 5 oclock, and slogged past those orange buoys a good hundred yards before the 4.7 would plane, but things were great on the outside and it even filled in closer to shore than the buoys after awhile, then after an hour or so it was downhill. Tide was running fast so i never once saw my board point as high as the launch after that big slog out. Too much fun on the outs for me to hurry in, little voice in my ear told me i'd make it back with no swim, but i did get to w ... (more)

    2-4'swell
    2.00 hours Starboard Fish 85 l. 7'8"
    Hot Sails Maui Superfreak 5.5
    :D Got there after 3:30 to find the place deserted and nice wind offshore/ light inside. Was very UP inside but was able to make it to the wind line and then I could've been on my 4.7. About a mile out the swell was coming thru shoulder high in a strip about 100 m. wide. Soon Mark joined me and we spent most of our time playing in the rollers. 8)

    Pastadude and W. Rancheros were rigging as I came off the water but the hole on the inside was getting bigger so I don't know how they did.

    1.00 hours Starboard 186X DOOR

    Looked light to start, then picked up to overpowered and then eased again. Sailed up to Cook St. and back. Chop off clover was very steep and close together. 2-3' high and and only 12' apart. Starboard tack took you straight into the chop. Port tack was fun.

    (43.3km/h max)

    What looked like a so so day turned out to be quite good. The FE 156L stayed on the roofracks, and after an hour of 7.5/111L, the wind notched up to 6.0/95L (1 hr) then to respectable 5.5/95L (2hrs). Four board members windsurfing. Jibe where you like kinda day. Nice!!! Richard, Janet's board was a great purchase - thanks!!

    :D Arrived at 6:00pm to 10kts, waited 15mins then rigged up with Tweezer Butt. It was very gusty, and lumpy outside Clover. Then the wind came up just after 6:30pm BANG :twisted: !! All of a sudden it was 20+kts. Superfun speed runs inside Clover. Tweezer is amazing holding down his 9.8m. Only clocked 42.2km/h as it was still a bit lumpy. 11km distance. The new STARBOARD FE board is FUNTASTIC!! :D Finished at 7:30pm and went for burger and beer at Ross Bay Pub! YUMM!

    Better than staring at the webcam. Tried MF4's Kona. Really well thought out product. Easy to sail for a beginner, enough performance for an advanced sailor. A 7.0 or larger Superfreak would be the ticket.

    Gusts were OK but they got fewer and weaker. Kona salvaged a few more runs. Hey BWD according to the Gordos weather stn, it was gusting 25 on the beach when I first went out. I would have guessed 20. Even when everyone was out together early on it was still gusting 23 or so. Is it calibrated? Are we calibrated?

    Bizzare wind today, superlo tide, started bigtime OP, held on for 1/2 but better w/ smaller board. Had fun for ~1hr, then it died. Did a little exploring on the reef (THERE ARE SEA URCHINS!! :shock: Who knew :?:) & in kelpbeds, came back very light. Played Mr. Balletdood for a long while, got a long run out only to have it die :shock: :oops: but made it back to kelpbed heaven :roll: This went on for a bit til my arms r extended by ~2".
