Looks like a some wind today! :idea: I'm presently eyeing a later morning eta to hopefully let things warm and build up some. Undecided on kite or windsurf (or both :twisted: ). Nice looking tide level I think.

I'm thinking the same. I hope the rain won't kill the wind.

I going to wing first and see what happens when the tide drops.
If my foot holds out maybe a windsurf session.

Well, always nice to share time with others in the rain at 3rd :roll: Left home on wind, arrived to none. Wind came - got about 20 minutes on 9M then wind dropped. Seemed like it was coming back after I deflated the kite... Nope, seemed more like 12M? Getting cold so not motivated. From what I could tell it seemed like the wingers did better.

It was alright at times but I still slogged around for quite a while. Much lighter than expected but it was nice to get out.

Arrived too early at 3rd Ave with wind up and down so spent just as much time walking upwind as riding down wind on 8m+surfboard. Even 12m kiters couldn't stay upwind.

Mike, Michael and Andrew - Hate to rub it in ... but I will. After you left (and I almost did) white caps started forming so I re-pumped my 8m for an additional 2 hrs (4-6pm) wave session in SSE 20-25 with Jordan and Shabi

Happy to battle the Massey tunnel after such a great session ... even packed a dry kite.

Nice score! You fully earned that for sticking around as long as you did.

Roxstock/Mark who arrived when I left scored at SSE 30 session on 12m :shock:

I'm glad you stuck it out! I could feel it coming up when I came in but the tide was dropping fast and I didn't want to get stuck out there with the foil.

I'm kind of bummed, I didn't get a single session at BB this past winter. I did get one session at the FT, and a handful of easterlies at Jericho. I'm glad some people have been getting a bit of TOW.
