4.5 and 78l was just right, a few patches of nice swell but choppy for the most part. Windguru still looks good for stronger wind tomorrow, hopefully its a little more wavy than choppy. Nice to see such a big turnout of windsurfers today :)

1 hour of super flat ferry terminal water on my 12m with cash and clay then the wind died by 5:00. Hoping for more tomorrow.

Looks like the wind is picking up at Jericho. Anyone there who can post an OSR?

Heading there after lunch, just packing up after a sun rise session at the terminal

Maybe I'll join you ... but I'm pretty sore after 7 consecutive days of boosting at Squamish.

Looks a bit dodgy at Jericho, wind sock spinning in random directions. Iona or Ferry terminal look like where it's at today.

Lost my Ocean Rodeo Mako 140cm off Acadia today. Was out in the waves and launched a head high, over rotated a back roll and crashed kite. Kite got inverted and by the time I got it back in the air I couldn't find my board :cry:

Handsome reward for the finder, sharpie may be hard to read. 6048172359, thanks

Scored 3 hours at Acadia on 12m + surfboard. Not the best conditions. Weak near shore but much stronger outside. Gusty and shifty WSW 18 to 24. Waves disorganized so spent more time in the smooth swell near the freighters. Fun riding with Travis when waves cleaned up with flooding tide.

Most disappointed when I heard Acadia was much better yesterday ... and I missed it for Squamish :evil:
