Looks like it would have been a good day. What did I miss?

Wind was nice, 4.7 80L but the waves not so much. Actually it was hard to find any to ride, there were a few small ramps in close but I ventured outside and couldn't find any. I think Brian found a few on his downwinder from the boat launch. Still nice to get 3 days in a row, it's been a long time since I've done that but man am I sore now.

Had a good 1.5 hrs on the 5.0/95 litre combo. Launched at boat ramp and did a slow downwinder to join Michael at Centennial. 5.0 was a bit much at times but it bought me a longer session as the wind softened. Had to hunt for clean waves but found several nice rides out in the bay. Nice bonus session after Monday’s intensity.

Phew ... I was on the fence and decided to work instead. Still smiling from the sweet waves Mon and Tue morning. Fingers cross for the weekend.

No waves because saturna under 25 knots produces only knee waves, shores under 15. Wind was local, no strong winds 25 km away = no waves. Yesterday nite saturna was gusting 55 knots == 2 meter+ wave.
