Hit the water at Centennial just after 9 on 4.5 sail. Fully powered and after about 20 minutes switched to 3.7 which worked well for the rest of the session. Nice waves but you had to go way out. Now if only some of that wind had cleared my front lawn ;)

PM both wind and swell improved. 30+ for sure. A bit of sunshine too.

Strong and Steady! Had a solid 4.0/85 session at Centennial from 1115 to 1pm. A bit overpowered but manageable in the unusually steady wind. Nice waves on the first bank and way outside, with a mixed bag in between. Most fun at Centennial so far this fall, for me. Great windsurfing turnout too.
Looks like Tuesday may bring another windy day.
Ps - just warm enough for my comfort, at 7C with mixed rain and sunny breaks.

Fun day! Like others have said nice and steady wind, after one slog that is, and a few nice waves. Over powered on the 4.7, especially at the end. A few nice jumps and wave rides. Waves seemed to flatten out near the end. I arrived home to a clear blue sky and it looked like it cranked for a bit, sorry I missed that, much have been fun!
Just caught Gleb at the edge of my frame, looked like a push loop? Nice!
Went for a few back loops but only got one on film, feels like I'm never going to land one of those.

SSE 25-30 on 8m+surfboard. Choppy but had to hunt for waves outside until it cleaned up with ebbing tide. Wind was not as steady for kiters as for windsurfers. Otherwise, still better than expected.

Nice session, didn’t feel cold and nice to see friends. Very therapeutic for me. Huge thanks to JohnM and C36 for lending me some gear, you guys are awesome.

Six. Sun was out when I launched and for the last stint. Started on medium gear (4.5/92) in the pulsing wind, switched to small (3.8/74) for most of it when it amped up a little more and then capped it off on medium gear (4.5/92) in the sunshine! Got a few sunshine wraps (frontside tries). Sun, cloud, rain, and a rainbow (no waterspouts). Solid turnout and more wind than wind swell. A few pushes on the outside and a few jumps, but overall pretty vanilla. Rumour has it Gleb landed a push loop (wet landing) - well done! Third business start-up (harness rental) brought in a little more passive income. Six degrees, but bare-hand-able (just).
