Sunrise session in the Bay this morning! When I hit the water around 6:45 the wind had completely died. Figured at least I'd gotten in an early morning swim but in about 10 minutes it came back! Stayed a nice and steady 15 to 18 until I ran out of water at 9. The new 5M KT wing is so nice! It pumps with power and creates forward drive creating board speed, making it super easy to get flying. I was on my 799 (1080sqcm) foil and it was so easy to get going. Flagging out the wing is a dream, it just floats! I actually really liked the handles which was one of the things I was worried about. The long thin handle is easy to move your hand around, it slides forward and back nicely, it's easy to flip your grip and the centre loop is nicely balanced for one handed riding! Didn't miss the windows. Stoked and can't wait to try the 3.5, maybe tomorrow! Happy Easter!! :D :D

Was lazy to drive to Tsawwassen. Scored short 1h session at Jericho. Wind was up and down 13-15kn.

Hopefully will be good tomorrow.

Easterly wind at CB 27 knots for 2 1/2 hours solo session celebrating Easter.

A warm up for tomorrow’s morning epic session - I hope!
