SE Saturday October 10?
Updated TJ loop looks better, windy starting 9am, SW switch after 3. I got to be off the water at 2. Too bad for WR the SW switch coincides with high tide.

Heading down to try Locust for the first time!
Stuck at the truck crossing at the moment, looks like about a 40 minute wait.
Should be there just in time to catch the first gusts...

I just left 3rd ave because there is no wind left there. Gerry terminal is about 17 knots. 3 of us here, I'm pumping my 12m.

2 hours lot on my 10m at ferry terminal with Francis AJ and 3 others. The wind came up and I couldn't keep myself in the water with my kite at 12 o'clock. 7m conditions now, I'd say 30 knots.

Abrielle/AltonJr, Dave Culver and I were first to arrive at 8:30am. Abrielle pumped 9m. Dave and I pumped 12m. Launched Abrielle only to discover 9m was too big so Abrielle pumped 7m and I took the 9m.
My 9m (+surfboard) was at the verge of suicidal but I had no choice. Got blown off the water 3 times heading out (S 30 gusting 40) so stayed close to shore where wind was more civilized S 20-30. Wind got crazy after we packed up at 12:30pm - S 30 gusting 45!
Never seen the Locust parking lot FULL. Big Canadian turn out including Lucas/Faceplant, Clay, Reggie, Joe, Lorne, Cash, Jerry, Stan, Laura, Rob D ... and 2 windsurfers Norvin and Dave/C36.
After returning to Canada we got Michael's OSR and drove to Tsawwassen for a double session. Our sore muscles and heavy rain in Tsawwassen changed our minds.
