It is a windsurfer in my latte art.

I love it. You should send that to BWD as the photo of the week nomination!

Moving over from McDonald's aka. Alton's office, to centennial. Dave, my phone can still receive calls, so if you're thinking of heading straight to locust after your meeting (if it still hasn't filled in locally by 11am) please drop me a line as I'm keen to join! Sounds like it should be happening locally any time now, though.

Windsurfer in coffee - it may not be tea leaves but surely a sign you folks are going to have a great day!

Saturna now South 30 knots. The wind is slowly moving North. Have fun sailing Lilly Point Darrel. Sounds like some great DTL potential and nice to hear there's swell 200 meters out already. Looking forward to reading the reports in the morning.

Off to bed now......

Thanks DB!

Pretty fun today. Few of us got out just as things ramped up. 8M 10M and me on 12M. Had a clot of fun, tried jumping lots. Boosted some nice airs, tried jumping on my not so comfortable side which lined up really nicely with the waves, timed a jump perfectly on a nice waist high ramp up I went. Unfortunately my kite control in the air wasn't too good. Came down ahead of my kite, it fell, lines got screwed up, kite looped, I got lofted had to self rescue. Not too far out, maybe 100 yards. Still took a long time to get in (20-30 min). James rescued my board....THankS!!!
Went back, pumped up 9M wind was building. Had a good session with strapless board in the waves. Lots of faces to slash. Good Fun!!!
Tried riding the surfboard with straps today, front strap was not open enough for me to get foot in, decided to just pull both straps off and go "au natural".
Lots of people, out. I think the wind was much stronger out a bit. A number of times, I had the 9M at 12 O'clock and felt like I was levitating! I guess I need a 7M soon.

Double session! Scored 2 hrs (10:30am-12:30pm) on my 10m kite + surfboard. Fun attempting toeside turns aggressively leaning into the turns down the clean breaking waves waist high. About 8-10 kiters out in the morning. Started about SSE 15-18 then built up to a gusty SSE 25 gusting 30 by 12:30pm - a real handful on my 10m.

Moved over to Centennial for some windsurfing action with Adrien, Michael, Richi, Chuck, Carl, Dallas, Brandon, Ryan (Tsawwassen), Nicolas, Scott, AJ, Maryam, Filip, Johnny, Bryan, Brian C and Ryan. Wind was up and down but managed to squeeze in 2 x 1/2 hr sessions (1pm-3pm) on my 4.7/74L then 4.7/93L. Short but fun gybing off super clean breaking rollers.

Big thanks again to Dallas for helping me out with my offshore gear failure - saved me quite the swim. Awesome to see the big c-HUCK himself in action, looping like it was his civic duty out there!

Frustrating lulls at times, but the dialed moments were great, both on the XL (~5.4m) from 11am - 12:30, and the M (~4.5m) 1 - 3:30. Good ramp opportunities for loop training came and went throughout the day as the tide changed, the best were definitely at the start around 11am.
