Holy crap, I’ve never seen a reading over 80 knots! Did the wind bomb already explode? Maybe there should be a Georgia Straight version of the Red Bull Challenge!!

looking at Gspot and clicking hourly the insanity seem focus between 10 am to 1 pm at 3rd av centenial beach.Also, look like its CLOCKIN SW at some point , scary thought for 3rd av riders. Also Tides seem very High (not great for clean waves lines if i recall well ) at 15' at 8am to 11.2' at 1pm .........i just got my 5m out , wondering if it will invert again on a crazy gust...... wish it had more structural struts. my brain is craving an endorphine high , im afraid im still a Addict!!!!!!! :o Maybe White rock more manageable ....ferry terminal seem very strong and i never been there yet on SSE but may have enough S in it anyway, oooooo, what about the other side of the road ha ha harggggggggggggggg!

The death of a kitesurfer in Toronto this weekend might be a reminder to not push your luck ... I'm attempted but might just abstain today

Things are looking very serious out west. 70 knots is crazy.

There won't be a slow build to this thing, might want to wait until it hits to go out or wait until the back end. No fun getting caught out on big gear when it hits.
