Thanks for the heads up (I think...) :). Hope you got out. I was stuck at work AND did not really think there would be anything due to lack of forecast alignment. August Boundary Bay sessions should not be missed!

Today was for Michael!

First sesh for me in over a month!

We pretty much had the Bay to ourselves save for one other winger and one kiter who called it quits early.

Fun chasing each other around the Bay, Wind was surprisingly solid, much better than expected and hella better than what was forecast!!

A few small swellies up by the Mile Marker, so played up there for a while. Still had big smiles when we called it after 3hrs when forearms were starting to cramp. Still windy when I left! Starting to feel like fall.

Nice Bro-down in the Bay! :D :D :D

Thanks Chuck! It sure was nice to get out on the water with you today! It's been a rough few weeks so that was a nice escape and great company!
Much better than expected, fun catching a few waves up by the mile marker. Surprised it lasted as long as it did! Like Chuck said it is starting to feel like fall, sure hope it's a windy one. Thanks again Bro! :D

Pardon my apparent ignorance but that graph looks like shit. Does it actually feel like that out there? Never ridden BB.

The sensor is in a bad location so for SSE I just look at the gusts and ignore the average. For easterlies I use the average.
