SE Thursday
Mega cold front set to come through Thursday night Friday. Looks like the real deal for 3rd. Get ready for small sail/kite sizes and D-Cup swell Alton

Looks good on NOAA, I'll be watching Whidbey as well but I was hoping that if it was WSW we would get a White Rock session in.

Hey Michael,
I think Thursday will be epic SSE conditions at 3rd! No WSW or White Rock on the models I was looking at. Wednesday morning is the day to pay close attention to Whidbey You guys have been scoring some amazing days for this early in the season. Make sure that GoPro is charged for Thursday. Can't wait to see some huge swell pictures.
On the loop front...........just do it! Seriously, there's very little skill involved to throwing a speed loop. Broad reach with lots of speed, jump, pull your back foot to windward, sheet in hard and 99% of the time you'll splat in water start position. It's 100% commitment and guts and that's about it. After you rotate the first one, water start and sail away you'll be asking yourself why the h$ll you didn't try that years ago.
Landing them dry and then planing is a bit more challenging but a rotation to the waterstart position with the sail still flying is very easy. I promise you 100% you'll rotate all the way if you commit
Cheers,
Chris

The commitment is there, it's the guts part I'm lacking in!Chris Klohn wrote:It's 100% commitment and guts and that's about it.

Yes Sir for Friday too. The surface models have all slowed the front down. Thursday afternoon & Dawn Patrol Friday for 3rd. Go for it on the loop front.........you have the guts! I've seen pictures of you in overhead at Pistol. That takes way more guts compared to a little speed loop!

I like the gusts Looks like a sweet setup for waves at 3rd on the outer bank with the tides. Whidbey and Locust are going to go off too! Have fun out there on Thursday Michael. Bear off tuck sheet in, bear off tuck sheet in, bear off tuck sheet in, bear off tuck sheet in, bear off tuck sheet in....................

When are we going to see you out here again!! With a forecast like this I'd expect you to be leaving Kamloops at 4 and be sailing at 9?- Michael
