More better. Just like yesterday, except more people, more ramps, more height, more slides, more stoke, and more fun! Pocket off 4th Ave out past the second bank was fun (swell had more size and girth). Fun trading turns with Lubo and sharing a party wave with Chuck (on kite/surfboard) out there. Ryan and Cash were also at the party too. Needed gloves today, but felt cozy and warm. Special thanks to Tsawwassen for the heads-up that CNL was 'on'!

No problem! Glad you and the others joined me. Great to see John out with his daughter winter sailing! Nice to get a visit from Alton as well, thanks for letting me know were the waves were. Like Dave was saying a few nice ones up wind a bit. Wind got weird after my break and I thought I was going to be swimming a few times in those big lulls. Then it kicked back in again and even started to pick up. 4.7 80L all day for another 3 hour session. Hope I have some energy for tomorrows epicness. See you then! Thanks again for the pics Dave!
Looks like I'm almost across the day in a few of those. :D

Watch the rotation: As of 6:30 am METAR TAF and BWD 2 (EC) are both predicting S by 10 am and the west coast of the island is already SW and the western entrance to the JDFS is already S.

The last time I sailed, I was on 3.4. Because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to readjust my lines, I'm gonna ride 3.4 again.

Careful on the way out I passed three cops one guy sitting there with a radar gun looking for speeders.
