A little light today for Long Beach so after a few attempts we decided to go back to South Chesterman's. Much windier but the waves were smaller today. Still fun being powered up on the small waves. Got in a few ariel attempts but still haven't landed one.

Those first two pictures are some pretty 'healthy' sized LB waves! :shock: 8-)

Three wavesailing sessions in two days out there is a pretty successful trip! 8-) And the challenging moments just add to the adventure! WAY more fun than my week! :D ;)

But what we all want to know is... did you stick the aerial back in front of the open section?? 8-)

Seems like you've been hitting the west coast at all the right times this spring, nicely done!

Nope, landed sideways on top of the wave, glad it was a small one. I'm getting close though, upon the gopro review I can see that I'm not getting enough speed and not hitting the crucial part of the lip! Need more practice!

I have Dave to thank for that!
