I packed a little to early and missed the best of it at 4:00. It was probably about 8 knots at 3:30, I didn’t think it would come back, I was wrong.

Ya man!!!
Dave, Mike and I scored the windsurfing power hour!! Looks like there were about 4 kites out that scored as well. Last 20 minutes before dark the waves really picked up. Nice new sand bar near the beach at Centennial made for some sweet waves close to the beach. Wish it had of come in an hour earlier but it was super fun until dark. :D :D :D :D

Wow! Nice. All the models were saying 4pm. I bailed just after 3 when all tanked. "Sacrificial lamb"
Funny though after i got home, was unloading my gear in my shop, and noticed I had left my harness behind! :oops: so either way that would've sucked...! Glad some of you got some. :cry:

Struggle. Arrived to see SE wind but got punchy, unstable east wind. It was a struggle to get going and stay going. Kept plugging away hoping the sunset power hour forecast was actually going to appear. Alton showed up to gloat. Sized fin up to make the puffy onshore wind work (sort of). Wind tanked. Ate late lunch in the rain. Moved the van to 4th to avoid gate nazi drama. Wind rebounded for power hour. Tsawwassen returned shortly after the wind. Mike scored session number 50. Sized fin down. We were all treated to some rolling water. Tired, overpowered and dark at the end. Glad it finally showed up.

3:20 on the water today in a mix of conditions, nice to be out after 2.5 weeks.

After a pretty crappy first session the wind returned right after Mark decided to leave... thanks Mark ;) Scored a fun boosting session for one hour and a bit until we couldn't really see anything anymore. We where 4 kites for the late session, at the end just Lauren and me due our special kite night goggles..
