It's great to see so much Friday Easterly stoke going around so I thought I'd keep it going...

John B. and I decided to hit up Wintler Park in Vancouver for a late-afternoon session. The current was huge with an outgoing tide... probably 8-10 MPH (upwind body drag was basically a maintain-position in the river. Regardless, a quick, fun session in a spot we've only been able to look at for a long time.

I was on 12m / surf, John on 15m / surf

Sweet I was wondering how that launch would be with all the trees but looks like that beach is pretty big in the pictures.
