VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

there will be a few less canadian kooks in your way if you hold back a week. hope we can still overlap a day or so.

Kus: Is this you (or your stand in double)?

All the Vancouver guys are here now....

Double, actually I have a few, you never know when you are in someone's crosshairs the clue is I don't usually stand around in my hot wetsuit sweating, wishing I was on the water.....uhohhh

Hang in there Kus, we'll be there soon!

Here are a couple of shots of you out on the water (CS 2012 June 17) - taken by the Vancouver crew (in case you had not seen them). Click on the picture once to make it bigger. Click on the picture a second time to make it biggest.

nope and thx, it's difficult to wave ride when you are a meter overpowered

looks like the run is coming to an end Wednesday, heading to Florence Tuesday night or earlier if my arms fall off

South swell forecast for Thursday to Monday, sure hope that wind forecast improves, although SUP at the Cape could be epic too.

Kus: Your welcome!

I am not sure if the Vancouver crew thanked you in person, but they greatly appreciated all of the insight and advice that you shared with them (in particular at CS)!

The underlined part above is the part of the forecast that had me worried (the mid-week tank) about heading down this week - it is long way to go for just half a week. Hope the forecast is 'wrong' and wind stays!

HUGE today wicked current, avoided getting killed, exciting 45 minutes, but didn't have much fun....can't wait to see what the south swell will do if this nuking wind stays too Pistol was a mush fest just like yesterday, only bigger!

I'm hoping to join you guys on the south coast maybe june 30th till july 8th. It would be cool to see all you hardcore windskippers again!

can we chat weather here? i know a few guys want to hit the road friday the 22.

for weather it looks like sunday the 24th might still be good but then a system comes in with SW winds. this pattern is supposed to clear by thursday with N winds returning friday.

Surf-wise we are looking at 2' short period +- thru the weekend until tuesday when it looks like it will ramp up to 4'+ through the remainder of the week.

what is the gorge doing if we were to do the weekend there?

iwindsurf has wind out east (arlington) saturday then less than 10mph thru the corridor and out east thru to tuesday.

Morewind and I were just talking about the 9-day pressure model forecast and how it doesn't look that good for either coast or the gorge for a week or so.

It sounds like that 9-day pressure model is a very good indicator. Morewind's words were that you could see a week out that this past week was going to be really windy on the coast based on the 9-day model.

Can you and Fish delay a little?

tough call, i might have to bring the kid along. then again, he could make us sandwiches!

I could delay until next week sometime. It sucks if it comes to that, but I'm not really stoked on a 10 day surf-only trip with occassional (maybe) Gorge days. I am guessing Redbaron and Terrapin are probably also ok with that.

This is depressing news.
