Low tide should keep the chop down. Yesterday there was a little minor chop but very good good water still (definitely not crazy chop). Low tide can produce super flat water, though this seems to be tied to stronger river current - still trying to figure it out.

Cloudy and G g g g g usty this afternoon. WSW 10-30 - very manly day. Any kite/sail would have worked. No casualities today. I was on my 7m kite practicing hard to stay upwind - most kiters on 9-12m. Lots of kiters - too many to name. Windsurfer generally on bigger 6.5+ including Igor, Mike, Lubo, Greg, Brian, Richard, Thomas, Filip and Nicolas, except Richi and Francois on 4.5.
