Hello All,

This is it. We are closing down the shop at Lake Nitinaht. I loved reporting on the weather on a daily base, and I hope you found it useful.

My plan is to be back next year and start reporting as soon as I get to the lake, sometimes middle to end of May 2026.

I am looking forward to my return in the spring.

See you then!

JC

It had been requested that I post up a how-to for rescuing runaway wings. I've successfully done it at least once so I guess it makes me an internet expert on the topic. Please feel free to add any methods or insights to this thread. The following is what seemed to work for me the other day in 3m wind and large wind swell conditions in Ross Bay. In flat water or lighter wind, the rescue should be much easier. 1. Make sure the foiler who's lost the wing is OK before chasing the wing. 2. Initiate chase keeping an eye on the wing as you get closer.
