Patience Paid Off...
Dropped my daughter off for the 9am ferry at Tswassen then waited for a couple hours for the sun and wind to align at the sailing site. Doug and I were about to give up at about 1030 when AJ phoned to say he was on his way. Just after 11 am several other windsurfers showed up and we soon hit the water from the boat ramp, in strong 5.0 conditions.
Six windsurfers and zero kiters for about the first hour, then a couple kites finally launched down at the end of the bay.
I enjoyed a long session, a bit overpowered on 5.0/95 litres, which helped me stay well upwind and offshore. Water state was “easy chop” with a few nice waves upwind near the beach.
Enjoyed by me, Kevin, Doug, AJ, Lubo, and a very skilled windsurf-foiler from Tswassen who’s name I have already forgotten (sorry).
Quote of the day: “Except for the cold... it feels just like La Ventana out there! “ (AJ)
