Excellent warm and sunny 2hr Squamish session SW-W 18- 25 from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Peter was our wind dummy (on 12m) until I joined in on my 10m+surfboard. Nice practicing gybes (switching feet) before I started nailing them when the wind ramped up to SW 22+. First 1.5 hrs was the best with only about 8 kiters sharing steady wind. By 1:15pm the crowds rolled in and wind became gusty so I called it quits.

It was a full house this afternoon with cars parked half way down the Spit. Great windsurfer turn out about a dozen including Mike, Tony, Ross, Peter, Gary, Rod ...
