Which place is better on a SSW wind, BB or the terminal?

Judging by the flag and lack of wave action at BB I’m guessing the terminal.

It's SSE now, I'd go to BB.

Been out at 3rd Ave for an hour on 8m+surfboard in SSE 18-22. Sharing sweet waist high rollers outside with Lucas. Heading out again after I grab a drink of water

Nice session. I had already left so didn’t see your post Mike. No one was at the terminal so went to BB and found Alton and a few wingers. Thanks for your help Alton. A bit light at times but the 12 m was definitely the right call.

A much more relaxing (compared to yesterday's at South Chesterman) 2-hour solo kiteboarding session today at Columbia Beach. Light wind 12-18 knots SE bluebird sky.

Best session of the year - even better than Friday's 5m session. Endless waist high breaking wave rides on 8m+surfboard with Luke 7m+kite foil in steady SSE 18-22. Long day from 9am to 2pm with water and lunch breaks for 3.5 hrs of wave riding. Later joined by Jim and Deb and a couple of more kiters and wingers.

Called it quits after 2pm as waves become disorganized ... and avoided the Massey Tunnel traffic jam.
