OSR Whidbey NAS - One kiter (Jon) overpowered on 12m now downsizing to 9m.
I need to finish some work but soon pumping 10m or 7m. Feels like SW 20.
P.S. Dave/C36 - another kiter (Jean) agrees that low tide is the worst for waves.
P.S. AT&T at JWSP is awesome. 5M/s download + 2.5 M/s upload. My conference calls are loud and clear.

Scored 1.5 hrs on 7m + surfboard in gentle SW to W 25-30 knots. Nice D-Cup (head high) waves. Then it got gnarly W 30-40 when Cash and Daniel arrived. Way too much for my 7m so I'm calling it a day. Had to chase my surfboard blown rolling down the beach. Cash is get huge hang time on his 7m.

Looked like a sweet day for sure at JWSP! The gradient got up to +4.3 mb around 4 pm today which is around 50mph gusts on Whidbey. The crazy thing is that Smith Island has had 21 consecutive hours of W20+ and it's still cranking W35 right now. Interested to hear from Cash and Daniel how the waves and swell shaped up with the W30-40 knots and higher tide? Stoked you got a mellow "light wind" 25-30 knot session Alton

Just before I left at 3:30pm, it looked like the gnarly wind eased back to civilized 7m conditions. Cash and Daniel were riding their 7m + twin tips and enjoying long super smooth inbound waves.
Kinda regret packing it in after 2 hrs TOW but it's so nice to return to Vancouver before dark. Now I have time to take my daughter out for driving lessons. Nice to have a full day of work, wind, water, friends and family.
Cheers to another great day ... and thanks for all your help Chris.
