    :D Another Fun Friday! Really windy when I first rigged, maybe 18-20+. First jump turned into a kite loop :shock: (initiated UNINTENDED!) but that got my adrenaline pumping for a great time on the water. Lifty wind, and then some good times behind the point. Should have rigged the 12. Nice to be so warm in the sunshine and to see all those smiling faces. Some 37 year old guy kept getting in my way ;) Happy B-Day Grant!!

Bad idea :D I didn't have enough altitude and ended up in the bubble by Holland point :oops: Couldn't get through jumbo kelp field and had to do MEGA WALK OF SHAME...

    WOW :D One of the best days I've ever had at Esquimalt. The wind was SSW which is very rare and it actually stayed that way which is even more rare. I blasted over to Clover Point on my first reach out. Blew my jibe and then couldn't get waterstarted for about 10 minutes. Finally got some wind and blasted back over towards Esquimalt. Saw BIG cruise ships just coming in.

    As I was heading back I looked over my shoulder and saw a whale watching boat just downwind of me...as in JUST downwind :shock: . Raced ... (more)

    1.00 hours Grant Macpherson Custom One of a kind 149
    Well, took out 'the one' kite by OR. Very interesting. Very smooth kite, and very smooth, steady wind and flat water made for a nice combination. Seems as though it is easier to get going quickly in lighter wind. The above is only an estimate, as there was about 5 knots on the beach and obvioulsy more aloft. Was on short lines on a day where long lines would be much preferred.

    A very comfortable kite and easy to fly in the lightest wind. Also saw it out on Friday in 25+, so it would appear to live up to ... (more)

    :D A great day in the back yard. 7.5 was a touch overkill at the break water, but fine in the bay. Solid winds, with some gusting as things eased to a more southerly blow. I got a bit downwinded in the wind shift, but enjoyed the excellent scenery in my "Walk of Shame". Had I waited at the side of the bay for an hour, the wind shift to NW would have let me sail home!!! Next time.... :? :) :shock:

    On the water at 1500. Good ripping for an hour and a half. Decided to come and grab the old Carve to practice the ground work for Forwards. I put the wetsuit and impact harness on and spent the next hour and a half getting flung. I was getting quite comfortable going over the handlebars with out the feet in the straps so I figured it was time to try a real one. My first Hucking attempt sent me flying over 20 feet (without the board) My second attempt more painful than the first. I just ended up in a big mes ... (more)

A nice planing session for >8m sailors (few) and when the storm came in, for those with smaller gear.... The rain drove us away, as waking up in a tent in the rain is not very appealing..... :shock: :)

    First time sailing Island View and one of the best days of the year for me. Sunshine, warm water, smooth wind and juicy swells. Had a really dialled in session - nailing jibes (mostly), riding swells, and hitting some nice ramps. Wind was a bit light inside but I was fully powered up further out all the way over to JAmes Island.

    The only downer was that the wind shut off really quickly and I had a bit of a slog/swim back to the beach. Nice place to sail though. MOre please :lol:

    small swell, chop
    2.00 hours Starboard Evo 74 7'6"
    Ezzy Wave SE 5.8
    Arrived to see Paul L. comming off the water on his 5.8 and little board. Just enough wind to get the Evo and 5.8 planing at first, then it picked up enough to throw a few loops. Water felt as warm as Nitinat. Sailed a bit with Chris and (I forget his name, sorry) who were ripping on their Retros and freeride boards. Mattdog was representin' the kiter pilots. Nice little warm up for the 2005/2006 Columbia WINTER OF HATE!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :D

    Good to see so many people out there including Randy, BigD, Bobson, and Tweezer out there on their big gear. A great day chasing Tweezer around. Tired from the ride up Hurricane Ridge/climbing Mt. Angles/and decending 1500m vertical of single track the day before.

    Hit Rowena at 1500. Gman, Grumpy and I had the whole place to ourselves for an hour. Great 5.8 racing. Around 1630 the wind kicked up a notch and we were all downsizing. 80/5.2 was perfect. Managed to nail 2 tacks as well. Sweet!
