WR has picked up enough for big gear. Still pretty SE, expect it to be gusty until it shifts more S.

OSR locust. 15-20 knots. 3 guys out on what looks like 10-12m, and 3 more pumping up.

3rd Ave. Been out on 12M (2X AJ :)). 9M would have been better. Shocking such fun could be had on knee high waves. Wasn't cold out there but more so once stop moving.

(12 + 6) / 2 = 9 would have been the right size

Fun day even on 6m.. It felt light on the shore -- pretty hard to launch -- but pretty powered up way out. When I first launched with 6m I was lucky someone was there to give me hot launch.

Only S 12-15 at White Rock today. Couldn't keep upwind on 12m + surfboard from 2-4pm with fun little waves near the pier. Plenty of walking upwind today. Jeff/Tweegster on 17m and Rob D on 11m+Foil had all the fun. Most guys on 14m were struggling. Still nice to be out today.

Locust delivered. 15-20 knots all afternoon. Stronger in the morning before I arrived according to the yanks.
