Clay, Rob, Cam and Jerry - Hate to rub it in but I will. After you guys left at 4pm it ramped up perfectly for 11m conditions.

Richi - thanks for talking me out of going to White Rock

Awesome noob session on the water with fully depowered 11m kite. SSE 12-20 from 4:30pm-7:30pm with a couple of lulls. Got rides both ways (strong side and weak side). Even started edging the board upwind on my strong side.

Only downside was struggling to land an inverted kite which kept looping with power even when released. Lesson learned - never allow any slack lines in a diving kite which can eventually invert.

Kite sessions were scored by Cash, Andrew, Lucas and a couple of more kiters.

Windsurfing sessions were scored by Richi, Richard, Dave/C36 and Michael.

Hey Alton, glad you got out, did you sail by me today? That was a fun session. I sailed at Point Roberts for a while until that lull around 5:30 then got sick of sailing alone and joined the crew at the boat launch. Picked back up just as I arrived and there was plenty of water at the boat launch by then, I didn't have to walk at all. Had a blast with Dave, Richi and Richard. Centennial was so much more fun than Point Roberts! Got a few nice jumps in today, nice playful waves.
