Highlight was Dave's back loop attempt, dude you were so close to making that one!
The wind was really light up by the pier though so you had to stay between the launch and river.

Classic White Rock day. 5.2 110l was a little much at times but mostly dialled in. Nicely spaced knee to waist high ramps great for jumping on port tack (I think it was port, Dave? )

Went to PR. 16-22 knots. Not much waves to talk about. No border waits.
12m kite + surfboard was fun, liked the lawn and pebbles, the heated washroom, VIP parking...
Why nobody chose Point Roberts today? For the SW?

Gabe, I didn't go to Point Roberts cause the sensor was looking better for White Rock and G-Spot was showing more wind for WR as well. I also checked the WR webcam and the waves were looking good. Another thing is the tide set up at Point Roberts wasn't looking great. I noticed that things work better there around low tide and if the tide is moving opposite to the wind. I found when the tide is high the swell is disorganized.

Thanks for the pics Dave. Wish I'd had the GoPro on today to catch that back loop.

M: Your right, wind/wave angle favoured jumps to port (especially when sailing out from the mouth of the river).
Pinching a mini aerial off the lip on starboard was also possible, if you watched for a 'horse head' to present itself. -
