Nice score Adrien! I saw that earlier today and gave it some thought, glad you went for it!

Chuck, I threw one for you on my first run out, to "shake the hangover off" ;)
Michael, happy birthday belated birthday and glad you were able to hit the water for the big five oh.

Thanks to old Adrian for alerting me to the outflow action today, and watching my back during my session (stuck on dad duty). 4.2m/82l was dialed to lit once I had hulla'd my way out of the wind shadow, which was really not that bad. The ramp setup felt like a small swell day at Doug's beach. Perfect forward ramps from 1-3' all the way out. Not quite enough wind to setup anything back or pushloopable. I guess that probably needs a solid 40knots to happen.

If I had had some mitts on along with my 16.5 Piranha fins (instead of my 15cm weeds that tend to be a bit soft for pinching) it would have been pure bliss.

Should have a couple pictures to share shortly.

Glad you got out AG and thanks for the session log! :D Good on OA for the watchful eye (both wind alert and shore duty)! :D

Here is a short GoPro Video I made at Furry Creek in Jan of this year. Gives you an idea of the wind shadow and launch conditions. I was on my 5.3 and 110L for reference.
