Raeghzer, Steve, Alex, Steve’s buddy from Edmonton (we’ll call him Ed) and I.  Got to the beach in fairly good time.  We were greeted with some beautiful 6-7 foot swells coming in sets of 2 and 3 in about 1:30 intervals.  Tide was about 3/4’s out.  We veered of to the right hand side.  About 2 minutes in Al decided to hit her board with her lips (not good).

With all her teeth in tact she was back out playin in no time.  This was my second venture out with my new 7′2 M-13 board and after nose diving the first half a dozen waves it was apparent that I have yet to find the sweet spot.

Break time, so we went up and waited for Brooke and Dana to arrive before going back to the beach.  When Kelly and I cleared the bush and got out past the tree line it took everything we had just to keep the wind from blowing the boards out of our hands.  Craziness, easily 100+ km/h winds.  The swells had now turned to pure chop and this was clearly the end of the road for Chesterman.
