So...... All this hot weather.... Anyone know whats happening at the lake now? I'd like to go tomorrow or Wednesday for a couple days but so far looks like a steady 8-9 knots as far as Port Alberni. Anyone with a different report?
Was at the lake from Monday 7th until Friday and I surfed every day! 12m and 14m kites however I like a bit overpowered. Was between 15-20 knots each day.

I'd ask but I'm not sure which house it is. Tried to figure it out last week but...... no cookie.

Hey,
anyone making a call re the long weekend weather at Nitinat. Weather forecasts looking sketchy from Sunday on. Too bad.
Was interested in going Saturday - Tuesday but that could be out now.
Is the free internet near the store working?
