Squamish Looking Better

[Tony360]

Great, had a fun session yesterday with strong gusty wind from 130 to 330. Spent a lot of time in the water and still not even close to the elusive roll-tack. Afterwards I attended the LNG open house in Squamish which is a whole other topic...then Mags 99 for a pulled chicken taco, spicy beef taco and Mexi Fries. Epic. I forgot to take a photo for the board

Double session today. SW 15-18 at 12-1pm. Kiting on my 10m was cut short (0.5 hrs) as I drifted too fast (screwing around with my board) into the Nexen light air vortex. At least I figured out how to flip my kite onto it's back in a self-rescue.

After 1pm, spent 1.5 hours windsurfing in sketchy up/down and gusty SW 15-25 on 5.2/93L. Wind was isolated to the river mouth then the river. Fun riding with Adrien, Tony, Francis, AJ, Filip, Mike, Eric and Francois. Out of Nexen were Lubo, Tom and Liviu.

Ya was fun. Steady 15 to start. Then steady 20 to 25 late afternoon.

Webcam works great. Here's a selfie. I'm the guy dressed like a wind-ninja.

A great dual-sport day for me too, out of Nexen. Kayaked south several kilometers along the east shoreline from 1030 - noon, returning on the downwinder, then sailed 6.0/Futura all over the bay from 1 - 230, way overpowered by the end but with a big smile! Seemed to be getting gustier as the day progressed, but may have just been getting tired.

Only Sunday, Monday and Thursday look sailable/kiteable over the next 7 days.
Get it while you can.

P.S. Sniff, sniff ... Monday is smells like 4.7m sail or 7m kite.

Ya, I think I'll rig my 4.7 right away today.

Satellite loop shows it may clear shortly.
