Anyone enjoying this westerly today? I'm so sore from yesterday's double session I'm a little unmotivated but Acadia looks good.

Ferry terminal was chilly but good, couple of kites and a winger out around 2. 9m on twintip worked with full power, probably could have gone a bit bigger

Scored a sunny WNW 25 session at Spanish Banks on 8m+surfboard. Choppy disorganized waves. Hunted around up to Acadia until I finally found clean waves between Dog Beach and Spanish Bank. Saw Jirka windsurfing at Acadia who took a downwinder down to Spanish Banks. Glad to finally talk to Jirka face-to-face after riding with him yesterday when White Rock clocked westerly.

Glad to finally met the legend him self!
Conditions were so so at Acadia. 4.7 and 78l full for a while from 2pm and then it dropped so I went down wind. The biggest surprise was that I was the only one on the water from beginning. Where are all the windsurfers !? :D

I was able to score short 1h session after 4pm.
Wind was 22-28kn nice swell, kite foil on 2.5m. Sun went down, wind went up over 30kn. There were probably 5 more kiters out and few wingfoilers.
