Epic session at Boundary Bay today. After patiently watching Cash (13.5m), Gabor (flysurfer) and Martin (16m) finish their big kite session without me, it finally ramped up at 12:30pm. Fuck*ng awesome 1.5 hrs session on my 10m with surfboard along with Bill (10m), Steve Grider (11m), Chamers (8m) and Jaryn (10m). SSE to S 20-25 gusting 30+ with clean breaking waves (waist to chest high) and sharp ramps under sunny skies and a huge rainbow. Tons of fun jumping ramps and S-turns in the waves on my surfboard. 6 failed attempts switching my feet in the waves. Because I still can't turn the surfboard I got lots of practice mounting the board (with straps) and waterstarting in challenging conditions. For about 20 minutes at 1:30pm it cranked S 30+ (way overpowered) pushing me way downwind near Centennial. With full de-power on my 10m I quickly got back upwind to 3rd Ave.
Michael (4.7), Francis (5.6) and Richi (4.5) also scored the epic session windsurfing down at Centennial. Francis was so overpowered on his 5.6 hucker he had to totally flatten his sail.
So eager to get a windsurfing session I got off the water at 2pm. Unfortunately, as I was chasing and landing Steve Grider's kite my calf "snapped" - very painful. I'm hoping it's only a bad cramp but my physio-therapist will let me know tomorrow - fingers crossed.
Anyway after 2pm the wind got light so it was back to 12m kites for 6 new arrivals.
