Hunting for something, EC calling for NE 20-30 south of Tsawwassen in the evening. Rasp doesn't agree until 9 PM though :S

EC calling for 20-30 knot outflow in Howe Sound Monday, it's still warm enough to give Furry Creek or Porteu Cove a go.

My 2 cents, having never kited: I wouldn't try kiting the launch I used in Furry Creek.. There's still a 50m wind shadow to get out even off the rocky point that juts out a bit. Not sure how you would launch or land a kite there without swimming out and drift launching, and vice versa for coming back in...

Oh nice looks like we should get a 8 knot NW in the afternoon.

Had a nice 1:20 session at 3:45 today in sunny 8-9 knots with the 17m and foil at Jericho.

Dumped my kite twice and managed to relaunch both times. Thought I was going to have to swim but the wind at the surface was pretty clean today.
