Not sure but I rarely get skunked using WindGuru for Squamish

Had an awesome 1.5 hr TOW sesh from about 4:30 today. Great start to the Squamish season. I was only one there! (other than a student lesson with boat) Quite surprised. Steady winds, felt like 14-18 knots..perfect on the 13m. Let's hope for another inflow tomorrow and great afternoon. See you there!

WindGuru looked like a good SW forecast for today (Thursday) ... but not sure about Friday

Hey guys can someone give me an address for where to park at squamish. Environment Canada says inflow 10-15 and 15-20 in the northerly sections for this afternoon. Let me know if u guys plan to go up i will likely join. It would be great to get a ride in there before I head back to Ontario. It has been great riding with u guys the past 4 months!

Jared - not sure about today so best of luck.

When are you returning to Onterrible? Too bad you can't stay for the Squamish summer to show off your freestyle skills.

Safe travels

My father is flying in Saturday to drive back with me. He flies in around 10 so looking at the forecast we will be heading straight to 3rd ave. I am participating in the sun run Sunday and then will head back Monday.

I'm watching out for a ENE at 3rd Ave Saturday morning but forecast models are conflicting
