    Almost the same as the previous day except that the swell was dropping. Not that it made much difference, the conditions were still ridiculous. I ended up paying the price and ripping my kite completely in the middle break--a 5 foot dump zone(7 foot faces). Managed an efficient self rescue, so all is well that ends well.

    I also had 3 good surfing sessions, 2 at Victoria Bay and one at ding Dangs--nice to be on a surfboard again after a long absence.

    Another great day at the lake with friends. More wind today creating some lump for chop hop attempts. Made more port tack jibes than wipeouts on both boards.......really have to start getting the starboard ones now!! A nice fogbank developed late in the day promising big things for the morning! Another Nuclear Monday? I'm holding out for all little gear tomorrow.

Both boards ultra light weight and early planers, fast, yet loose. I neeeeeds one. Steph tweaked her wrist badly on a jibe crash, but is nearly making them now!

    Got some 9m at Macktush yesterday. Windy, Gusty, Brutal launch. Unfortunately it's not a kiting spot due to the narrow beach (only 15' wide at high) and very poor wind at the beach. Windy as hell though. I like the look of the mouth of the Franklin River much better for launching -immediately opposite the inlet just west of Franklin Camp. - Sep 04 9:47AM

    Perfect day in my books, sweeet sweet smooth wind, locked in solid on the 16, fully sheeted at some times but good lift. Went out on the 12 later and had a ball as well. Went back down to windsurferland, discovered yesterday some good lift just by the boat launch behind the big stump so thought I would check it out again today.

    FINALLY got to sail Nimpkish Lake! Third time lucky I guess...I always drive by when heading north to do some kayaking. It's a gorgeous lake, a FREE campground (with garbage removal), and the wave pattern definitely has some sweet secrets hidden away for the next time(s) I'm up that way. Woulda been a much longer session but I had car troubles on the way in, and was off to Zeballos and Fair Harbour to launch my boat right after I derigged....by the by, the lady at the Fair Harbour store says that on a w ...

    Ocean Rodeo One 12m
    Ridiculous and gusty. the outside was smooth, not that I ventured out there too often as there was a nice 6-7 foot middle break. The waves were breaking top to bottom and I was downright scared, especially with the gusty wind. Lots of powerful whitewater as well, making it even more nerve wracking. All in all, a very humbling experience. We ended up doing a 6 km down winder, the wind was pure sideshore.

    The marine forecast stated that there was an 18m swell, so i guess we got lucky that it wasn't comming ... (more)

Only made 3 tacks on port EVER, upwards of 40 in a row, both ways :shock: couldn't figure out what I did wrong all these years but man, didn't blow a single tack ALL SESH :twisted: Better gusts near end, ripped back/forth to Chatham few times, then tank was empty.

    5th day in a row of kiting for moi. Gusty. But, really, good overall fun as gusts simply don't matter anymore, and are actually the highligts of the day! Nice to use the 9m ONE today for a change, but could easily have been on the 12m ONE as Ross was. Sorry not to have seen JL, but nice to see the Watsons and Joe and Christina enjoying the crazy wind! Busy out there - people feel the end of the season coming perhaps? 3 days of 9m type wind in a row at the end of August is quite unusual :D .
