Jericho sensors is reading W 20 now (6am) but will it last ????

High tide, cold and uncertainty ... maybe a risk averse groomer session with the weekend Cypress crowds is the call ... hmmm

Double session for me today.
I had great early morning sunrise session on 5m and kite foil from 8 till 10am. Launched from Tolmie did lots of downwinders to Jericho sailing center and back. Swell was so good today everywhere. Was way overpowered, Jericho was showing 12kn, but I think it was over 25kn.

Cypress in afternoon, great weather but unfortunately it was busy with 30min lineups.

I was wondering about the Jericho sensors. They haven’t been giving a true reading on what the wind is doing. I did manage to get out briefly at Ambleside today which was very pleasant. Fairly light but could still get some air. Nice not having monster waves. Shout out to Ryan for the assistance and Jim yesterday. :D

I had a nice windfoil session at Jericho at around 10:30-11:30. At first I had my 4.6 and even that was too much with the swell. The wind dropped a bit so I came in and rigged my 5.2 Flyer. Further out I don't think the wind had dropped all that much but the flyer is so much nicer for windfoiling. It's a great sail, very steady while the 4.6 retro gets tossed all over. Anyways, the 5.2 session was sweet.
