See you there!

Classic Centennial day - November has finally arrived. Up and down SE 20-30 from 1pm to 2pm became steady SE 25g30 (3pm to 4pm) with butter smooth steep waist to chest high breaking waves with 40' spacing. Rigged 5.2/93L and 4.2/74L before settling into 4.7/93L. Big smiles from Michael and Richi and about 7 kiters (Francis, Jerry, Clay, Cam ...).

Fun little splash about today! Ran out of water before ran out of light (or strength!)

Yup full on fun today! 1 sail 3 boards today, 12:30 to 1:30 was just ripping on the Roberts 5.2. Lots of nice waves then and got some great jumps in, then for about 30 min on the 110L but things flattened out. Then the wind kicked in again and this time it was 5.2 80L, the water dropped some more and by around 3 the waves really picked up on the outside. Was totally lit until almost 4 then had a long walk back to the beach. I had concerns about the Quad sails with the Roberts board but today those were laid to rest. Those sails are awesome and the 5.2 was a great match for the Roberts. Actually it was great on all 3 boards! Tons of power and easy to handle even when it hit 30 knots. Total jump fest at the beginning and end.

A few observations for tide and wave set up. Good waves at 12:30 when I started then things flattened out until around 2:30 and really got nice around 3.
Same thing happened yesterday but a little earlier around 2. I think the set up worked so nicely because of the tide going from 4.4 to 1.8 M and the waves outside really came up around 3.2 M. Just an observation but something to look out for, hopefully things work out on the weekend. The same setup will be great at Point Roberts from 1 to 5 on Saturday.

Yah, that was amazing, 3:00 - 4:00 was the magic hour! Didn't expect to be on a 4.0 today and didn't expect those incredible conditions. kind of felt like a terrain park with all the flat areas between all the waves, and waves coming in different directions depending on where you were.
I think your right Alton, November has finally arrived
