howling 30 knots, beach is unusually quiet at our flat water spot on a stormy day. Just my mate and a few odd straglers. Notice after I jump and land I get this sharp pain in my leg. Seems to be happening more often. Pass by my mate and yell at him, he's got the same thing happening....

quickest pack down of our lives.

There was only one lightining strike in the area so far according to lightining maps and it was over land in Burnaby (the one I saw).

This was in western Australia:

There were a lot of clouds that day.... have to admit, it was probably one the best days, the beach is rarely that empty! I just remember it being a zap in my legs, not painful but noticeable, possibly building potential energy in the air, grounding it when I touched the water?

Both of us were having it.

Great to get out! Awesome turnout. Solid conditions, bit of a guessing game of what size kite to go with, but in the end it a couple of hours on the water fully powered. Nice waves out there. I might need to get a surf kite, cuz some of those waves were jacking up nicely!

Sweet 2 hr wave session on 7m+surfboard. Fun riding waist high breaking waves - my favorite when tide is low.

It was a bit of a sail-size gamble with the low tide (long walk, even at the boat ramp) and variable wind. I chose 5.0/95litre, which was too small in the 330pm lull but really good from 400-500pm. Like Alton said, those waist high breakers were really fun, even pole-surfing! Nice treat sailing Boundary Bay on a balmy 13C day too!
