Due to uncertainty in the models, I went for snowboarding instead. I hope you got some.

Unfortunately I missed it. Mike was just coming off the water when I arrived but by the time I got out the wind had died. I managed to get up on the foil twice but spent the rest of the time sitting on my board waiting. It looks like it has bounced back now though. Figures. :(

I got out today for a half hour on the 11M and surfboard in marginal wind but workable wind. I was slow to leave since, as Alton said, dubious models. Also, BB airport sensor was light wind. The actual wind on the water was less than what iwindsurf suggested for the most part. There tended to be more wind south of 3rd and less north and it came and went. Still happy to get out plus there was a Kona beach walk.

Photo below: 50% that's Michael in the background on the wing making me wonder if I should have stayed out longer (there were 2 wingers).

Thanks for the photo Mike! Sorry for photo bombing Kona. That was one of the times I was able to get up on the foil. After that reach it was done and I slogged back in. So you made the right choice! How old is Kona now?

I thought it would’ve been windy enough by the graph, any idea what’s going on with the Boundary Bay webcam?

She's 10 months old now. Basically a real dog now. That beach is one of her favourite places - so the two of us get along really well :D .
