I think it might have been sketchy trying to launch a kite there today.
Super fun session on 4.7 80L, felt like Pistol River on the outside and Columbia beach on the inside. If this spot went off more often we would all be better sailors. :D Almost landed a back loop today, so close, the last hour the waves kicked up and with the side shore wind you could wrap front side and get in a few of hits. Not as big as CB but fun, even managed a few top turns. Acadia sounds like it was crazy. When I fist arrived at White rock I was not sure I had made the right choice, very glad it delivered. Just the 4 of us out.

Good call. Either WR or Acadia would have been a right choice. Being alone there just creeps me out. Waves were looking clean. Just not easy to get out on high tide at least for me

Nice work all! Glad to see the 'resistance' (as Nicolas say) is still charging!!! 8-)

I opted to take my Mom to see her grandson's (my son's) soccer game today (first time she has ever seen him play) - hard to focus on the task at hand at times and some pangs of FOMO, but it had its own rewards.

Glad some scored and I enjoyed the reports and pictures. :D :D :D
