Great day, thanks to Tony, Alton and Vadim for some moral support. Real steady wind, fully loaded on my 4.6 on broad reaches.

Great swell out there! Almost git dive bombed by a kite though while just floating near the terminal adjusting some gear.

Classic Squamish. Early start at noon SW 18-20 on 9m+surfboard in the butter smooth river. Just enough for a twin tip so started boosting until my depower line snapped. Replaced it with a line triple the thickness then returned to a boosting session in SW 20-25.
3 hours of fun in the sun + 1 hr of repairs. Great day. Great turn out.

Sweet video Jonathan, I noticed you have some foam foot platforms on the rear of the board. Is that to get extra leverage gybing or just a comfort thing while sailing? Good idea, I may do the same. Cheers, rich

Yet another great day. Steady SW 22-27. Enough for boosting on 7m+TT in the butter smooth river - even though 9m would have been better. Switched to surfboard when swell / chop replaced the flat water.
