Lucas and I enjoyed very civilized SW 20-25 on 9m+TT from 6pm - 8pm at Iona Beach. Awesome waist high breaking waves with 30' of glassy smooth sections between. Even scored some great boosting. Super sunny and super warm water - felt like we were in Maui.
Logs on the beach and weeds at the shoreline made it tricky to launch Lucas' kite. I instead drift launched in chest deep water to avoid the weeds ... then self-rescued since I was first off the water.
Later arrivals were treated with W 30-35 howling conditions. Lucas and I were sandblasted as we packed up. Nice to return home before dark.
Fantastic way to end my 5 consecutive days with 2 hours of civilized wind and waves (fun in the sun) before heading off for Toronto Wednesday morning.
