As Dunkinguy said SOC-trip-Tofino-style has been fun. You company has been missed. Did an even class-off-session at LB last night with BWD and The Law that I took in part to dedicate to you. Hope to share a session again soon brother.
Session 6 – SUP – Long Beach (2020 July 1)![Image](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50068593913_4091eb17e4_z.jpg)
First. Ethan got his first SUP in – the waves were finally big enough to draw him out onto the water. Funny that he got in windsurfing and kiteboarding sessions before a SUP session. Fun group of BWD, Pete (surf foil), Lisa and Johnny. Lots to choose from. The larger ones were a touch round, but rides were had by all.

Session 7 – wavesailing – South Chesterman (2020 July 1)![Image](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50069174351_8ecef2367d_z.jpg)
Fireworks. I was hopeful NW flow would kick at South Chesterman again today. We did a 4 pm look-see but it was really light and really flat, so did a grocery run and grabbed a take-out pizza from the Shed to eat back at the beach. By the time the pizza was done it was “go” time! Ethan had his doubts but it was fun for me (he opted out). Waves were more consistent then yesterday but wind was lighter so took more sail (6.1) and more fin (24 cm) – they did seem to help get moving they both really seemed to make the board slow and heavy to respond to on the wave. Net result of conditions plus equipment resulted in higher wave count then yesterday. Fewer neighbours – only four kites up. Thanks again to Ethan for shooting pictures again today. You could hear Canada Day fireworks in the distance (likely on Long Beach).
