Still windy out here but looks like White Rock is the place to be.

Going to check out Point Roberts and hopefully score a wing session.

Missed it yesterday and not too much luck today at Jericho. Wind died at 9am. Did few jibes on 5m kitefoil, then 20min swim. At least was sunny and warm.
Me and another wingfoiler.

Sweet session in W 20-25 on 8m+surfboard with Roxstock (12m), Shab (10m), LT (12m) and Rob D (9m+surfboard) ... + 4 wingers + 1 wind foiler. Great way to end the week with big smiles and sun shine.

Finally got a session at Point Roberts! After all those windsurfing sessions out there I knew it would be epic for winging. I've been thinking about doing it for 2 years and figured today was the day! Launched right where I took the video below. Some serious shore pound but timed it well and made it out. Some absolutely ripping wave rides out there. I only ventured out into the middle of the straight a few times, spent most of my time between the point and Gulf Rd, but there were some monster swells out there. Caught one which kicked right up to a steep face, foil breached on top and I did a wicked faceplant! Felt like I broke my nose, was so surprise I didn't have blood pouring down my face. I was a bit rattled after that so I only sailed for another 20 minutes and came in. I saw the shore break was now even bigger than when I launched so I sailed around the tip of the point and landed on the south facing beach. No problem getting in there! An hour and a half session on the 3.5, with the W730 again, it handled those big waves so well. Forgot to mention there were 2 Porpoises and a Sealion playing in the waves out there. Amazing that it's only 10 minutes from Boundary Bay but it's so different out there.

I arrived at Jericho as Dimitri was swimming in and headed for the ferry terminal, which turned out to be the right decision.

My new 4m wing was perfect for the wind between 1030 and 1pm.

The sunny flat water was perfect for practicing jibes and by the end I was able to do a few consecutively before falling.

Nice to get a session in before the deep freeze sets in.

Congrats, the Terminal is great for practicing stuff! I almost went today to practice tacks but had to try the point.
