SPRING

[Daoud]

Nice to see the kites / wings / windfoilers all out the last couple of days.
Looking forward to Spring / Summer

Yes, it's very nice to see some warm weather with wind. I have actually had 17 days of kiting or winging at Jericho in the last two months, but most of those days were with a hydrofoil. Most of us who kiteboard, wing, or windsurf here in the city are on hydrofoils.

Unfortunately the Jericho Sailing Centre wind meter is down while they reroof the building. It should by back mid May.

Be reminded that Vancouver lifeguards start on Victoria Day, May 22, and then the designated beach in Vancouver for kiteboarding is at the foot of Tolmie Street.

Squamish has stronger winds in the summer ..usually. Opening day there is May 13. You need to buy a membership to use the shuttle boat service. https://squamishwindsports.com/

Any chance there might be an instructor for kite foiling or wing at Jericho with his own gear for the moment?

Nice steady wind from 1pm to 3pm.

Flat water and Sunshine

Rode Locarno to Kits to 2nd beach and back

Possibly try Windsure at Jericho Sailing Center for Wing lessons

rang them up , unfortunately, there weren't enough students ... how was today's session (May 14) for kitefoil, windfoil and wing foil? I was just looking at the live cam it seemed the wind was side-on then side-off .. only a single windfoiler did I see and a couple of kiters and most probably a windfoiler schlogging?

Anther nice day.. I have been on the water 5 of the last 7 days here at Jericho foiling.
Several wingers, at least a dozen kitefoilers and a few windfoilers were out today. There was enough wind at a time for a couple of kite surfboarders too.

I would imagine Sunday was similar to Saturday, which was between 9-11 knots. There was even one TT rider making a few runs for a while.

You can see Saturday's conditions here:
