JWSP cranking right now! Just rigged down from 4.7 to 3.7. Nicely spaced peeling 4-5 foot waves on the inside with bigger swell on the outside. One kiter ripping on a 5 meter. The wind has been building steadily for the past hour.

Hey Guys,

JWSP is full on nuking now. Sheets of spray coming off the swell tops and the waves are now overhead close to shore. Re-rigged again from 3.7 to 3.4, my smallest size, and heading out. Two more windsurfers here now rigging a 2.8 & 3.2. Air Base updated TAF now showing W 31 Gusts 45! Hope WR gets some of this wind too. Nice way to end the season :D

Cheers,

Chris

Quick JWSP update...........

The wind has settled in nicely now at 25-35 knots est.

Perfectly dialed on a 4.2 Northwave Surflite and my new Goya Quad 84.

Waves 5-6 feet, swell 6-9 feet. Two other windsurfers, 3.7 & 4.0, and four kiters all on 5 meters.

Going to milk this one until it's dark tonight :)

Cheers,

Chris

Nice score Chris, I figured it was going to happen down there today especially as I was up here. :( Heading to the Okanagan tomorrow. Have a nice holiday and stay safe back at work.

Hey Michael,

Thanks and all the best to you and your family too over the Holidays.

Rigging down from 4.2 to 3.7 for the last hour of daylight. It's gusting over 40 again here.

Beautiful 6-8 foot breaking waves right now with logo high swell and the sun hanging low over the western strait...........looks like a cold weather windsurfing postcard :)

Cheers,

Chris
