Flat days.. Van surf edit thread

[keeldude]

Flat days are here without even the slightest bump to ride this side of the island. Here is a video my friend Andy filmed from last November. Its continuity is sort of in reverse, but it was from a nuke day Nov 15. HB started out at 0.8/0.9m early on with a 4.7m tide, so nowhere was that surfable except for a small shorebreak wave at the very base of 29th ave in west van, which is not really a spot. The wind filled in mid afternoon to the 30kn range and HB rose to 1.2 or 1.3m as the tide dropped to 3m, resulting in one of the more memorable wreck sessions of the fall (Sept had two great back to back Sunday sessions as well IIRC)

Also going to repost another video from wreck (same day as above, Nov15 2015) for documentation purposes, thinking that maybe this will become a separate thread for vancouver videos

KD, yes June is a write off. 5 weeks without surf. it will take a while to come back. Even getting 14 knots locally is a hassle. Great videos, tough to get footage of full-on sessions. Glad Andy was there to help.
Osoyoos, Lax, Sunshine coast ending with Tofino. I'll post if here, I'll email you. Strange SW wind for a while.
