Cypress Has Been Great So Far
Submitted by Tony on Mon, 2009-01-05 08:20.
I've had about 7 powder days at Cypress in the last 2 weeks.
I have to miss out today's pow because I have to get my new carving board & plate bindings.

Yes, it was great on Cypress yesterday morning...knee deep! I got first tracks on Raven Chair, and finally got to try out my new $50 170 cm Option board....VERY fast, and floaty in the pow! But now...comes the rain. Time to windsurf again!

Sunny Day
Submitted by alton on Wed, 2008-12-31 14:40.
WSW 16-20 onshore winds up and down with some strong blasts died by 12pm. 4 sailors (myself, Brad, Jerry and Mark) and a few kiters out. Decided to rig a 6.4 instead as wind tapered off in the morning as forecasted. Lots of big ass weeds at Crescent.

Crescent beach
Submitted by Jerry on Tue, 2008-12-30 19:38.
If the forcasted sw for tomorrow happens it would be my first choice and second the terminal. A ebbing tide to 3m till 1430 should not present any problems. Will be on standby for tomorrow bring" ice cubes "

Toasty Warm
Submitted by alton on Tue, 2008-12-30 17:36.
As Jerry recommended, layers work! An old fleece sweater under my 7mm wetsuit with vinyl windbreaker pants kept me toasty warm the entire day at +4C.
5 sailors today ... Francis, Jerry, myself, Bryan and Brad. Easy riding 5.4m 18-25 SSE day, flat inside with clean 2' swell outside. Best of all, no weed fin required.
BTW, no snow on beach or in parking lot.

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-12-29 17:20.
I was at Ambelside from 2 till 4 lit up on my 4.0. Port tack wave riding with a couple of surfers...head high, stuck a few backs and tables on the way out, but way too cold to do some real moves. Where were you guys?

Keeping Warm
Submitted by alton on Mon, 2008-12-29 17:56.
I chose to stay warm at home as the temperature dropped down to 1C when the wind clocked west. My threshold for sailing is +4C.
BTW ... who are you Mr Anonymous?
