Funny I struggled to get http://www.bigwavedave.ca to recognize the links to the Facebook shots and finally gave up, but looks like WTF read them.
Here my personal favorite 'action' shots from Day 1.

I added a few of Day 2 surf/shots to the previous post.

Pistol River Wave Bash Day 3 (Friday) Rain Squalls
"The Pistol River Wave Bash crew gathered at 8am for a skippers meeting looking to seize any opportunity we may find for wind. The forecast suggested there was a chance so everyone jumped in, set up tents, sound systems, drinks, chairs, flags, the lot. Sailors went out and tested the conditions. Phil, Tom, Boujmaa, Tony, Jess all got out and all got amongst it. But then the rain clouds moved across and the wind died just as [they] were preparing to start..."
"...Late in the afternoon the clouds finally parted and we were met with a little bit of wind. The unexpected wind allowed a few riders to get out and catch some waves. Boujmaa Guilloul and Morgan Noireaux stole the show, putting on a clinic in light wind wave sailing. After the short burst of wind, it was off to Brookings for a delicious dinner at Kuhn Thai restaurant. Live music and plenty of drinks flowing kept everyone entertained late into the evening..."

Conditions were slog and ride. Almost everyone was on big gear. Jesse and Jen sailed really well. Tom Soltysiak showed off pro level rides, and very much deserved to win the amateurs.
I had a poor performance, I picked only small waves and my 105 FSW was not the right board, my 85 quad was too small. Looking for a 95 thruster or quad for slog conditions. The pros were on body weight plus 10l for light wind conditions.

Thanks Alton.
I hope more people from Vancouver make it out to the wave bash next year. It's a lot of fun. The pros are really great to watch and they're always willing to share tips and tricks.
