At Acadia now. Feels like 15 gusting over 20 knots. One person out. Rigging 4.7 and taking the 101L.

Looked stronger down by Jericho but the gusts are pretty solid now.

Got a solid 2 hours at Acadia on 4.7 and 101L. Well powered to a handfull at times and a mix of nice shaped waist high waves to some nasty chop but had a lot of fun. Got a few port jumps but focused on riding and turning on the bigger sets.

Derek was out on his mid 80L board and a 5.4 but just the 2 of us but could see some kites downwind off Spanish Banks.

Had an idiot on a jetski pass just behind me (10ft) from downwind and behind my sail today. They have kms of open space to operate their jetskis in but this guy had to drive right at me.

Nice sunset session from Tolmie to Acadia on 8m+surfboard in steady W 20-25. Sweet waist high rollers past the Spanish Banks marker.

Maybe a repeat tomorrow evening but I sadly have golf commitments

It was the first session of the season for me. Feeling pretty beat, but it was fantastic!
