    I wouldn't call it a go, Chris. Just one pretty lame attempt in the beginning of the session. Landed side wise, totally under rotated, kinda like a self initiated catapult. It looks like I have to nail my jumps first :cry:

    Anyway, new sails are awesome! When things are getting crazy I still can jibe, they don't jerk, pull or make me uncomfortable in any other way! Thanks BWD!

    Completed my first honest forward!!! Thanks to Tom, Mike and Bean for inspiration. Russian Dude had a go as well. I believe Tom was the first of us to "HUCKIT" this session and mayhem ensued. Everyone had really good looking rotations. The Hateclub is growing!! Landed one backloop today, crashed many others.

    1.50 hours Starboard Fish 85 l. 7'8"
    Sailworks Revolution 4.7 m.
    The wind didn't fill in till 1:30 and looked lighter than it actually was. I was very powered up for the first hour, took a break and it mellowed a bit when I got back out. The break was pretty small inside and 3-5 ft. outside. Ended my session with a sprained ankle when I did a jump and my front foot came out of the strap, landing awkwardly on one foot. :(

    I felt pretty out of shape after not sailing for a month but had fun up to the final couple of minutes anyway.

    Managed to get a quick sail in at lunch. Gusty and bumpy. Tough to line up jumps, but was close on a couple of backloops. WARM and SUNNY for part of the sesh before it shut off. Lots of little fin snagging sticks and mini logs.

    Finally got my fix! It was pretty good powered up session for a while then it droped dead. I should've stayed on IV, but well.... All an all it was worth it.

    New sail works great.

    And I scored sess # 400 in this sailing log! I deserve it. I created it after all!

    And I am very modest too :D

    Whole day spent windsurfing - am chasing wind, then 11 till 3 on the water. Started 30% time planing, then got to 80% for a while with Bobson there, then back to about 50%. 2 degrees rising to 6 or 8. Great winter cruising, sailed 42 km, max speed 36 kmph. Dasher's 12 Step Jibe DVD helping lots, even on flare jibes! Couldn't keep up with Bobson's Formula gear!

    5.00 hours Best Nemesis 12m
    Epic day at a newly inaugurated spot in the lee of a long breakwater. Wind angle has to be perfect. A number of records for me. Fastest ride, and possible highest jump. Discovered a new way of jumping to get more air by riding overpowered with bar fully sheeted out. After 4 hours went into overdrive mode where brain stops noticing muscles' fatigue. :D

    Mattdog, Snapper & I decided to try a new location as wind was quite west. First went out for a very overpowered downwind run on the 16M. Insane gusts. Got a ride back & rode butter smooth water for over 3 hrs. The 12M was a much better choice. Wind was up & down but tons of fun. And of course Sunshine! I love it when Env. Canada is wrong.

    Last minute decision to take a study break payed off. Wind was fluky. First was underpowered then kept building & building. When I left the water, as it was getting dark, I couldn't get back to the shore(wind is offshore at Pipers). As soon as I would take the board off my feet I would get dragged downwind or lifted. So I ended up pulling the safety in 2 feet deep water. Lots of fun though.

Wind straight out of Cadboro Bay = next stop Discovery Is or Pt Angeles if you can't stay to windward. 39 km/h fastest speed, only 11 km sailed. 3 deg C, hands numb 1st sesh, fine on 2nd. Made all but 1 jibe - mostly ugly but dry. Uphauled once to avoid going in water. Wouldn't wanted to try it from this direction on a less floaty board - very light and flukey near boat launch.

    :D Big kite and Cabal SX51 skimboard. Skimboard goes upwind better than a normal board and can be ridden backwards like a TT or jibed. Once I got the feel for it its a lot of fun and has a smooth ride. If you can keep your kite in the air, you can plane on this board - great. :D

    Rathtrevor is waist depth so far out will check it out on a real blow, should be great for learning new stuff.
