Funny, I always feel a little disappointed when I hear the reports of Squamish ‘turning on’ as it means winter storm season is ‘turning off’. Hope the thermals prove more realizable than the winter storms this year.

Hope you continue to heal and are released for sailing soon!

Ha ha right on...
Agree. I prefer winter sailing conditions myself, but the frequency of thermal inflows = way more TOW
Hope you get some outflow action today.

Back on the water next weekend! ... Finally!
Have fun 8-)

That's for sure! On the bright side maybe we will see a few nice Long Beach sessions like last spring and of course that means the Oregon Coast is only a few months away. :D This was a very disappointing winter season so I'm glad it's over anyways. :evil:

I get sad too when squamish gets firing... we had a pretty weak winter storm season this year. I'm still hoping for 1 or two more days of SE and hopefully a couple nuking flat water NW at the terminal

Now that looks more like it!

Missed it too! Lol
Tofino yesterday and day trip to nitinat for a family hike around see what winter had done to the beach etc...

Tested the construction of my new windsup which came off the roof of the truck on sterling main at 60kms. :o
omg! Never had that happen before... Only some superficial scratches in the finish.
Crazy! Make sure that doesn't happen again...

Beautiful day up here today quite and patches of sun. Wind is trying to blow too.
Hope people got out at the spit today... Cheers

damn it I missed it. I opted for a Cypress session and got skunked. Horrible conditions up there! Looking forward for the next inflow!
