Since I despise the Ferry Terminal launch, fingers crossed for White Rock

No wind in WR but it’s already blowing at the terminal. Sadly, it’s also raining. Not vibing on that. :(

I can't speak to its accuracy...

It's looking good in Boundary Bay. I'm still out of commission for a while, enjoy!

Double session - After skiing at Cypress ... went to pay White Rock a visit. Got there just in time for almost 2 hrs of 8m conditions on surfboard. Wind was a gusty SSE to S 18-25 ... but the chest high breaking waves made up for it.

Great way to spend family day without the family :D

Went to Tsawwassen today, don't like pay parking at White Rock.
When I arrived Francis was getting ready on wing. I went out on 4.8 and 86l. Was perfect until I ripped the sail. Rigged 4.2 and it was light in the beginning and perfect 20min later. Wind was stable 18 then 25kn. Knee to waist swell, and flat on the other side. Wind was cross on shore. 4 kiters launch slightly downwind of us on tt and foils. Few kites even launch on other side of the road for flat water tt. Mike and other windsurfers were on similar size gear.

Today (until Mar 31) the parking rate at White Rock East Beach is only $1.25 per hour

For wind strength, I think you chose well. For waves, I think I chose better.
