The power hour was absolutely awesome, in synch with the low tide and glassy flat water. Yet again a bit of sh!t show in the river, not always easy to find an unobstructed patch of flat water for moves, as both kiters and windsurfers hoarded to the best spots
I broke a footstrap during a Vulcan, so had to take some time off to (gratefully) replace it with Simon's spare. By the time I got back out, it must've been the 4:30pm dip in wind, as the wind was grade some A bullsh!t, and I only managed to get 3 loop attempts before calling it as it was simply too gusty and weak. On one attempt, though, despite the low wind I felt like my rig position was a lot better before pulling the trigger.
Some kiters were very stoked on their boardshorts evening session, and I guess it was that last peak of wind between 5pm and 6pm they were stoked on. I might try boardshorts tomorrow just to say I did it. The ice cold water would probably help with my tendonitis.
Other highlights included beers on the sandbar with Rob from UBC. It's important to take breaks when sailing hard. Move of the day, voted by the windsurfers who witnessed it, was my mast-on-water-handbrake duck gybe to 12 foot swan dive.
Tomorrow should still bring flat water but without the crowds. Stoked!
