this morning predict of ENE were wrong end up like a SE that by 1130issh thanked, was supposedly good and powered till 11, . when I left around 1230 , it didn't look good for a ENE to come so drive back without riding.looks like windguru predict update was right on and gspot 10pm one was off.
A kitemare happen at 3rd when I launched a kiter at 1045 am at 3rd av. and the kite went Out of Control!!! he finally ejected close to a house, I Was so anxious and afraid for him, after my last kiting session that I myself got hurt, it was weird to see another kiter nearly got hurt bad.
Reason of his kitemare: he bought new set of line in North Van and the back lines where 1 1/2 feet or so Shorter!!! wtf,why they don't design kite lines of equal length for all models, stupid companies! that was really f@#k.

I too kite Jericho on NE wind sometimes and it's decent.

I like Tolmie St. best on NE, it's really nice being able to stay right near the shore and have steady wind instead of the swirly gusty crap near shore on a W or NW.

I also stay chest deep or shallower though on E or NE.

The thing about NE at Jericho though is it doesn't come from NE forecasts for Vancouver. It's generally created by SE or E forecast wind that's swirling up in to the city then back out in to the straight. Like currently it's 22 knots SE at bbay and 14 knots at Jericho ENE.

looks like the wind ESE again on graph, insane NW a while ago!
