Tomorrow is Tsawwassen's annual spring clean up day so don't leave anything out on the sidewalk or grass.There will be tones of people cruising around looking for anything they can grab. Alton lost a board a few years back on this day and there seems to be more and more people every year looking for stuff. Be careful and with luck we will see you on the water!!

Hit the water when there still was lots of water. 7M and kite SB. Solid wind and nice waves. Waves changed quite a bit with lower tide. Lengthy walk back so glad I didn't windsurf. Surprised that it was just me for almost all my time.

Double session - After a great 10 cm snowboard session at Cypress, I caught the low tide wave session at 3rd Avenue on 5m+surfboard in SSE 25-30. Waist high breaking waves with long clean sections between. Nice sharing the waves with Sam (7m+surfboard) and watching Jens (solo windsurfer) playing in the waves. Later joined by Cash, Shab, Dan and a few others. What a great way to start the week :D

Big shout out to Johnny, the hero of the day, chasing down and rescuing my wing after my waist leash ripped open after a crash! We took the late afternoon shift with Craig, when the tide was high enough to wing. So lucky he was there, thanks bro!!! So grateful and sore as, after a crazy swim to try and catch it and then swimming down to meet Johnny. Once the session was saved it was back to more fun! You can see on the GPS track how far down wind it was and that was after Johnny had sailed back up wind with it to meet me!!
