CB blowing at least 25 to 30 knots SE. Lone rider here for 40 mins now. 2 windsurfers going out soon

Tricky self launch and land with the kite

Super friendly people. Good turnout. 7feet swells. Overpowered with 8m. Felt welcoming experience

Ok this is on top 5 Coastal places to live

Nice score AJ! I have only sailed there once in lighter conditions- just good enough to want to return!
Hopefully the wind makes it to Centennial tomorrow for us “mainlanders”.

Tomorrow I think the "mainlanders" will get the wind. I see in my crystal ball :-)

Tomorrow morning will be a repeat at CB. Too bad I couldn't windsurf cuz I broke my mast at Dundarave in low wind can you believe it. And it takes months before I get an order from Severne. So I'm just going to live by with what I have - 8 m kite.

My first day at CB was a little disorienting but tomorrow should be better since I got a feel of what to expect there.

Another epic day (25-30 knots SE) at CB (at the Island) today and this time got to be more confident riding the swells/waves after some orientation yesterday.

Hope you have an epic day too at CB (at the Mainland) .

Yes, Centennial delivered today. Started a bit soft so took the 5.7, but soon rigged down to 4.5 for a classic session on smooth well-spaced waves. Good crowd of windsurfers with big smiles!!

Scored over 2 hrs at 3rd Ave. Started with 12m in SSE 22 then quickly switched to 7m+surfboard in SSE 28. Waist high waves with some smooth sections. Good turn out.
