Terminal OSR, as requested

6 kites out ranging from 10-14m. Sensor fairly accurate, funny as there wasn't enough wind in Ladner to fly a flag in a flagpole. Wasn't this windy in Richmond either

Do we still have to launch from Dog Beach? Or can we launch from the nice spot by the washrooms now that the lifeguards are gone?

No more life guards. You can launch from Spanish Banks.

OSR Jericho dog beach. 15 knots shallow water. I can see 2 kites out that look like 12m. I'm pumping 16m now.
