Better than expected, solid 2 hours around 20 knots with Dmitry and one other kiter. Getting closer on the foot switches and tacks but still unsuccessful. Dmitry you sure have some crazy upwind ability and speed on that foil! How was the cross boarder sailing? On low tide I've seen some really nice waves up there but have never made it up there on a windsurfer. Wind and tide dropped fast so I packed it in but the kiters were still going when I left.

Another great day on a water.
Was kitefoiling on 7m, Shahab on 12m and tt and Michael windfoiling. Went to mile maker few times. Swell wasn't big may be knee to waist high. I think on SE its bigger. Centenial for sure is bigger on good day. But on foil it's still fun to gibe and downwind even on those small waves.
Wind dropped more when you left 2.5h for me. After I finished packing wind went up again to 18-20kn and more rain.
Much colder than yesterday. Car was showing 6c only and no sun today. Didn't feel like summer today.

Nice to be back home at CB where the water still tastes sea salt as opposed to English bay’s stinking funny tasting water. Fun 2 hour solo riding with 8m TT +surfboard with 18-20 SE knots.
