Got lucky with a solid 12M kite session. Hit the water just after 8:30 and it felt like it was going to be downwind action only. Then it was good! 9M would have worked but stuck to 12 on the light wind forecast. When the wind came there were knee to maybe mid thigh waves. Not Maui but still fun. Bonus was the fantasy view towards Mount Baker.

Wow. Kiting didn't even come to mind today. Well done.

I launched at ferry terminal around 8am. Wind was 15kn, two wingers were out. In 1h wind dropped, barely came back, 30min later wind picked up again. Foiled another hour. It got light again may be 12kn. Decided to come back. When I packed, Francis went windfoiling and another winger on 7m.
Today there were few patches of weeds and a little debris in a water.
Hope for 25kn tomorrow at Jericho.

Hey Mike I was watching that forecast and would have joined you if I hadn't killed my 5M wing on Friday. Glad you got out!
