I went to Squamish Wind competition last Friday. It's three days wind festival, but unfortunately wind didn't blow last two days...yet we still had a blast time on Friday!! Me and my friend went there Thursday night and camped on the spit. Next day, inflow started around 10:30. I pumped up 10m and just went out. Only three of us were out, wind was great and water is super flat :) Such a great time!! Windfest started at 11:00. I was in first heat of racing. In my heat, there is Sam who is national rider sponsord by Naish. He's super fast...it's really good opportunity to compete with such a great kiter and he's really nice guy. I ended up with 5th place and couldn't go to next heat. That's okay, it was fun!!
Some of local kiters made a kicker for this windfest. I took fins off from my board and gave it try. It was first time for me, yet I crushed so many times still it's super fun!! I believe that bindings work well for this kind of stuff.
We had a party at night. Free beer were given by Remax! Many people got hammered (: I took my clothes off and chugged the beer up side down (sorry for no picture).
I stayed only 2 days, but I feel like stayed more than that because of too much fun! Next day, I went back to North Vancouver and just chilled. Well, shopping was quite fun and fish and chips was too much for me.
