Sailed Natural Bridges yesterday and today (Sat- Sun). Fun both times. Did get becalmed the second time I went out yesterday.
Today was good throughout. 15 second period swell that was good fun. I was planing in the puffs so when the extended puffs matched up with the sets coming in it was great.
Needed big gear to handle the lulls. I was using my 7.0 Ezzy. Managed to not dig the clew into the wave face ever.

Wonderful Wind-SUP session with my Amundson Cross 11' and a 5.2 and almost no wind. Great fun and when the wind picked up a bit the monster (180L) started planing!!!!! Simply lovely. |

Another Stick day waiting for the wind to fill in more at Coyote or Crisssy. Started with almost no wind Wind-supping with a 5.2, than at around 4:30 the wind really picked up. Great hour with FSW 100L + 5.2 powered to overpowered than the wind started to decrease but about 10 people hung in there for late session. |

Wind was gusty with erratic average. 5.3 waterstarted readily and planed fast at intervals, then was not sufficient to waterstart, then was overpowered. The chop was somewhere between amusing and challenging.
Around 10 people were out sailing at various times, quite a few kiters. People were out on everything from 4.2 to 6.0; most seemed to be 5.0-5.3. |

Davenport was great today! Sailed my JP FSW and 4.7 Ezzy. As many as a dozen sailors out at a time. Good waves at the south reef and good waves at Shark Bites and sometimes good waves in the channel.
Intiially the wind filled all the way into shore making it easy to get out. Later on it had reduced to only erratic puffs coming across the water near shore. Outside was blowing well with occasional lulls but they were generally short lived and the good wind would come back. and last a good while.
Water was beautiful. |
