Oh crap my 6m will be too big -- I'll need 3m.

Oh well I guess I'll settle for 3.4m sail with 68L board.

See you in the afternoon.

if you are dead looping and wanna call quit, pull on the back line that is Not under tension and keep thumb out. or let go of your kite if it feel too dangerous for fingers.

Looking very serious this afternoon. Might be wiser to take the morning shift.

Borrowing other peoples gear in these conditions is not recommended. Remember last year? Lesson learned by the lender anyway. :shock:

Windguru not consistent with BWD. Any windsurfers heading to Centennial / 3rd Ave?
