Thursday is still looking gusty but probably not as bad as today (Wed). I'm planning to make the trip to Squamish.

Got busy at work so I had to cancel yesterday. How was it yesterday (Thursday) at Squamish? Wind graph looks gusty but not as crazy as Wednesday.

Hi Alton, you are right yesterday was not as crazy as Wednesday, at least the wind direction was consistent. Too light to windsurf in river, so I switched to Nexen and had a low wind, ~15 knots, session there.

Thanks. Just spoke to Francis and he also said it was steady for kiting.

I plan to head up today.

Hey Alton,

I was on my 9m and was either comfortably powered or struggling to keep upwind...all within 5 min...kited for around 30 min and waited for the wind to fill in but ended up packing up and leaving around 1pm...

I don't think you missed much...

Just my two cents though..

Cheers
