You wouldn't have done very well with a 10m + sb today. Only ones that returned to their launch spot were two people on foils + chonos. One guy did pretty well on a 13 edge + foil but he never returned. A few more floundering around for a bit.

It was the same as yesterday wind wise. Solid wind down at JSCA and only 8-10 up at Dog Beach.

Jericho looks to be building nicely. If anyone is there please post an OSR.

started at Acadia with my 15m Speed...after a few downwinders and lots of walking back on the sandbars i ended up on dogbeach when the tide came in.

felt like 8-9 knots with gusts up to 11...was really lame... saw 2 more kites trying to get going at acadia but they had no luck.

Colin was heading out on 15 m chrono and foil at 3:00 but looking at the graph it probably didn't end well.

BWD and wind guru calling for a decent NW all day tomorrow. I will be at dog beach fairly early as I have a wedding to go to in the afternoon.

WindGuru looks promising for Acadia on Saturday. Tide is low from 11am-3pm. Fingers crossed.

The sand bar exposes a lot earlier near the toilets, and no lifeguards on duty until 11:30. Just saying.

I'm losing confidence in Acadia. I think I'll head up to Squamish today - unfortunately on a tight schedule.
