Today strong outflow 30kn and 7C and probably Sunday will happen again.
Planning to come to Furry Creek or Portue Cove windsurfing if it happens early morning.

Wind was light and I decided to kitefoil. Unfortunately at Porteau Cove I had no luck to launch. Wind was gusty and too light at shore. In a middle it's 25kn, close to shore 7-14kn. Tried to launch upwind of pier wind dropped and kite fall on a tree. Then tried drift launch from downwind, not windy enough even to launch it.
Need to start winging.

With windsurfing and kite foiling experience you already know how ;) it's actually a somewhat pleasant workout paddling wing gear to the wind line.
