We’ll see how it goes here in WR. Defiantly more wind than in quite a while.

Sunny in downtown now. Is the wind dead by the water now? or SW?

White Rock was awesome. First time for me. Didn't realized it was so easy to park and walk over to the grassy area. I always imagined it a long walk.
Nice to see some familiar faces. C36's van looks like a well organized machine! Lot's of options in there.
7m conditions until 11am. Feeling good now. :D

Was on the water at WR just after 8 am and got 2.5 TOW with 7m and Mako TT. super fun boosting and slashing waves. Started SE and switched NW just before 10. Best WR session for me yet!! So stoked to get out this morning :D :D :D

On the water from 10:30-12:30 on 6.5m + SB. Beautiful sunny day. Fully powered until 11:35 and then underpowered after.

Some nice waves up at Acadia, good wind/wave angle for port tack airs.

I was alone up at Acadia for ages, not even any poleboarders out for most of the good section.

Fun while it lasted.
