3rd Ave Sunday (late) morning looking pretty good.

Looks like it should pick up mid/late morning, but TAF not picking anything up yet. All models on WG seem to show some SE.

satellite and surface analysis looks good:

Hope to be there around 11:30!!

Not much chatter on here but the forecast looks good to me I hope to see some guys out.

C36, getting naked ... there is just no privacy these days.

Where is that?

Columbia beach, other side (parksville), island.

SE is best served at Columbia beach when strait delivers. Today is very slow ... I like bb, it's a little NEE, but Sandy Point just turned SE, same as Saturna. Waiting to go past 20 knots (12:30-2:30pm best wind by forecast), waiting.

Osr Jericho. 15-20 knots easterly, shallow water. Going with 12

5 kites out at 3rd. Guessing 12m. Pissing rain

Scored 1.5 hrs on 9m+surfboard at 3rd Ave / Centennial.

Everyone on 12m except Chalmers and I. Thought my 9m was a mistake as I couldn't keep upwind between 3rd Ave and the boat launch (ENE 16-18). Saw Chalmers (9m+TT) and Andrew (12m+TT) were lit on at the north end of Centennial so I went to join them. 4 knots stronger and smoother water (ENE 18-22). Even managed to boost a few times.

Big turnout over 15 kiters on the water including 8mdude, Matt, Slappy, Andrew, Chalmers, Shane, James and many more . All parking spots taken. Ended session at 2pm with sunny breaks and a dry kite. Nice taking a break from 3 consecutive POW days at Cypress.

I didn't have time to go to 3rd today so instead enjoyed a good 1:15 TOW at Jericho with Dan. Both of us on 12m. Fairly flat water and steady wind.
