Over 2 hrs on 12m+surfboard with drummermom. Joined the wingers upwind for super fun toe side swell rides.

Now light at Ferry Terminal. Nobody on the water.

Fun in the sun! First hour when it was over 30 knots was crazy! Never been out there in those conditions. :o Surprisingly nice swell! Back on the 3.5 Slick and it was working well, surprised after Sundays mayhem. Rigged down after the drop to 20 knots but it was still fun in the sun. Foot switches feeling good, and got close on a few 360s. It's been a fun week. Nice big group of Wingers and a few kiters, drummermom and Alton. Francis was ripping on his first day winging, nice work bro!

Looks like a pretty good afternoon session to be had. Odd how the waves are coming almost directly from the North though.

Epic day at South Chesterman 30-35 NW knots. Clean sets of waves 2-4 feet.

Expecting another epic tomorrow.

Session #2 - Scored 1.5 hrs flat water (tiny waves) at Acadia ... pumping the shit out of my 8m in W 16-18 was a ton of fun ... especially cranking fast gybes.
