4 kiters and 1 windfoil got out in the sunshine yesterday.

After my rescue last season I've decided to swap to a 58L board for a bit more ease of rescue when I drop my Peaks in the water, happy with it's performance so far.

Thanks for the thermal report! I've been eyeing it recently but it seems barely at or just below my windfoil threshold so holding back.

Got my first windfoil session yesterday since sometime in August. Joined a number of others at the pay parking area close to Jericho as the "free parking" area was gated?? Hopefully that area will remain free??

I'm told the parking pass is now year round. So the question for me may be if the areas that were free last year (including further west at Spanish Banks & Acadia) will become pay (I didn't think to look for meters)??

Rumour has it, there's more light wind NW action coming Friday and maybe next week! In the meantime, maybe SE 3rd ave kite on lowish tide Thursday.

I didn’t see any wind yesterday. What was it blowing?

Look like 11knots average if you believe the Jericho meter.
