There will be a lot of us at Gary Point on Saturday. We have a spot on Breakfast T.V. for the 15th and plan to do some filming in case we don't have wind on the day the show goes live from there. I may not get out Sunday but you can count on folks being there.
Tides suck for Boundry Bay . Looks like enough wind for a big kite day in the park though ?

Too bad you didn't make it to SOBB. The Flysurfers got some good attention ! Folks said I should be selling them, I'm so sold on them myself :cool:

That is me enjoying the 13 down there in my new avatar :singing:

Hope you make it up :cool:

Strait of Georgia is showing 10 to 15 knots for Sat / Sun from the NW.

Inland wind is looking light.

if you can come by GP that would be good.

I just realized your crew run on water :duh:

The tides are good for that. The wind ..... not so much.

With a predicted N - N.W. you will want to plan on English Bay. It will be S.A. type winds !

Squamish will be the place to hit the water for sure ! With sunny days ahead it will go off on thermals !
