It’s blowing NNW at the terminal atm but I’m not sure if it’s going to last. Anyone have any insight on this? Granted it’s a bit light but rideable. I don’t have an igetwind account and the cheapskate version suggests it will tank soon. Alton? Anyone??

Bigwave dave forecast looks good but only 14 knots on Tsawwassen meter not enough for me.

I was out from 7 to 8:30 before work session. Very gusty 10 to 25 knots but I was winging so it didn’t matter.

Shawn and I got out after work. Low to mid teens, plenty for fun on the 11m boxers and foils.

Nice sunset and start to the weekend!

I did end up getting out from around 1:30-3:30. Have been desperate for some flat water to come to terms with winging. Holy crap, what a difference! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. lol

Flat water definitely makes learning to wing much easier.
