Saturday NW

[C36]

Just crossed North West Marine into parking lot west of usual one using Trimble to sasamat street, no one there to stop me. Race is on til 3:00 supposedly. Not many cyclists, I'm sure you can find a way to cross in to a parking lot, cars parked on nw marine, or park on side streets and walk your gear across me marine. Can't believe it's blocked for a few cyclists.
4 guys out at Jericho, planing half the time, freighters pointing south, sw, and west, all random. Going to rig a 5.6 and 93.
One more car crossed into parking lot using sasamat, no enforcement, not much patrol around.

At the foot of Tolme with Ethan. Incredibly frustrating (wrong end of the bank with no access from UBC).

Rigging 5.5

Was ok this morning at Locarno.

Time to head to Squamish? The wind graph looks like No.

Scored 2 hrs at Acadia with Roxstock, RobW, Clay, Glen, Lucas, James and 5 other kiters on 12m and 9m. First hour was frustrating (up and down) with disorganized chop. When the wind ramped up to W 18-22 waves cleaned up and jacked up to chest high. Some of the smoothest toe side wave rides exiting gybes. Wind shut down quickly but Rob, Roxstock and I made it back to shore.

Nice to be riding waves on a surfboard again. Not used to riding with straps ... need more practice.

I'm still betting on Acadia but Squamish may be gusty with a weak temperature gradient.

Glad we bet on Acadia today

Nice powered up session from 9:00 - 10:30, 5.6 and 93 was just right.

But I kind of wish I went to Squamish now, could be 3.5 conditions soon

Squamish graph looks like you can rig anything from 3.5 to 7.5, and it'd be the right size 10% of the time.

, that's funny!

NW to SE switch in 1 day locally must be doing some damage to the Squamish machine.
