I was just at Dundarave. Looking over at Jericho/Acadia I could see great looking waves, but it's 1C at the beach - too cold for me!! Looks like a good snowshoeing/ski day on the local mountains though.
Play safe folks.
NW Sunday?
Got suckered at white rock, was looking good but switched to offshore. On our way to terminal.

Are these real posts from today?
I know it's windy and cold at Jerhico. Will head down if it hits 6 degrees

This is it. Best waves starting by 11:30am, 14 ft tide. 6-8ft
Hope you morning guys ate breakfast for those jumps. The ones that waited, kudos.

Best session of the year. Started out at the beach in gusty 18 to 30+. Was on a tight timeline so had to get out. During the session the wind dropped from fully lit on 7 with full depower to having to work and loop the kite to stay afloat.
There were great solid waves all over but especially right at the winter launch and close to shore at upper Acadia. I have seen it bigger and more lined up but never as clean, the waves were coming in coastal style sets. Nice to see C36 in some of the best waves I have seen in that zone.
Wind dropped to the teens when I was near dog beach but I was lucky to make it back without a swim with lots of looping.

Glad to hear you had a rocking session, El Presidente, but from what I experienced today we must've been sailing at two entirely different spots 
Expectations were pretty high driving down, as traffic lights and trees were swaying nicely even in North/East Van. Got to Acadia around 8am, rigged 4.2m/82l. Launching at Middles looked like a bad idea, and the launch at Uppers was only medium-sketchy.
It was like there was an on off switch for the wind. My first run I was just bobbing out, then occasionally it would turn on and 4.2 was just enough to just right. There were a few nice waves rolling through for sure, but the inconsistent wind made it hard to make much of them... I thought my newly pioneered "dry skin" glove technology would keep today pain-free, but by the time I got back to my car I was in agony...
Dave and Darrell switched out to bigger gear, but it seemed to gain them only marginal more performance, as when it was "off" it was almost not waterstartable regardless of what you were on.
If September 20th 2015 was a wave/jump/wind 10/10/10 at Acadia, today was a 5/1/4. We'll treat it as a training day. Good to absorb copious amounts of vitamin D through the gap in my hood after 90 days of rain. New fins are awesome, at least.
Michael, you definitely didn't miss an "epic" Acadia day. You missed an epic tease! Definitely not enough reward for the pain endured in the hands today..

I'm glad you posted that, cause after Tonys post I was feeling the pain!!
Sorry it didn't turnout to be epic for you guys. Looks like winter weather for at least a week as well.
