Awesome day at Locust Beach.

11am - Picked up my 2013 6' Slingshot Verve surfboard from Bellingham Kite Paddle Surf.

1pm - Got spooked by 30+ gusts on my 10m kite.

2pm - Scored 1.5 hrs lit (fully depowered) on my 7m kite in gusty SSE 25-30. Super clean waist to chest high waves. Stayed on my twin tip - too gnarly to learn to ride a surfboard. Cash out on 9.5m. Clay downsized to 7m. Jerry downsized from 9m to 7.5m. Bret windsurfing on 5.0 and Dave/C36 windsurfing on 5.2.

5pm - Getting new tires at Burlington Costco and enjoying Pesto Sacchettini at Panera Bread.

9pm-midnight:
Enjoy the company of CBSA as they tear your car apart and excise their dues and fees...
Careful with those posts ;)
