Looks like a CB day tomorrow. Catching the 5:15 ferry in the AM.

Rebound. Fun day trip. 4.5/92 for most of the time in steady morning wind and crazy afternoon rebounding wind (bit punishing at times complete with bullet rain). I timed taking my 'big gear' (5.3/115) out perfectly with the freakishly strong rebounding wind - BIG mistake that ~ Lots of frontside tries today (and a few multi-hit rides). Lots of sailors. Lots of smiles. Only one spin (full rotation, nose first, but prematurely let go of the rig (silly me). Stalled upwind on the way in to let Shaggy hit a ramp and watched him loft if from my frontside-ride-front-row-seat! Super cool. Fun day!

Good day for sure! :D Probably my best CB day. The morning had a nice combo of wind and waves, then by lunch things got a little light but there were still some nice waves. The afternoon was crazy when the wind kicked back in, was way over powered on the 5.2 but was just too tired to do a rig change so I just sailed it until I couldn't hold on any more. Some great wave rides but I found it hard to jump. Need a few more days out there to get used to the place. Thanks for taking the time to take the pictures as usual Dave, they look great!
