I said "SW 18 ramping up to SW 25+".
However, the iWindsurf/iKitesurf graph is in miles per hour.

Best Squamish day ever 
Early start SW 25g30 with unusually smooth water. Overpowered on my 9m+TT so switched to 7m for 3 hours of heavenly boosting.

Another day of excellent boosting conditions in SW 20-25 on 10m beater kite+TT. Smooth water became choppy after 3pm.
Discovered (while boosting) I was steering the kite back instead of sending it back with a twist. Now getting much better height.

Overheating (36°C) led to a late start (2pm) and gusty conditions. W 16-24. First hour was great for boosting on 10m+TT. Switched to surfboard as wind dropped. Ice cold Squamish water was so refreshing.
After 9 consecutive days on the water, going to rest and take a family day tomorrow (Sat).
