Strong wind warning for East Vancouver island. Most models show +35 knots SE. This is insane!

Scored good session at Centenial, boat launch. Started around 9am, tide was high, wind unfortunately drop while I was rigging to 20-25kn. But still was able to plane 95% on 4.2 and 86l. It was much stronger at Centenial and less windy at boat launch, flat everywhere. At 11am tide dropped a lot, catapulited few times by hitting sand.
Good to be out on windsurfing gear.

I got in a good 1.5hr session at Jericho on the windfoil. The wind really kicked for a bit before dying down around 11:30.
