Squamish 2026

[Alton]

First day for me and Alton Jr. Steady SW 20-25 on 5m (Jr) and 8m (me) + surfboards with the usual chop. Great re-uniting with the Squamish regulars.

Waited 3 hrs for boat maintenance before scoring a steady to holey WSW 20 session.

3rd consecutive day. Early start for best wind. Alton Jr first on the water on 5m+surfboard with full depower. Steady SW 25+. Perfect for Nexen with smooth waves.

Wednesday Sp’akw’us Feather Park (aka Nexen) report: horrible

Holey day at Squamish. SW 5 to 25 on 8m+surfboard. Somehow Alton Jr made it work on 5m+surfboard. Nice of Dmitry to pay a visit on the sandbar.

Steady SW 20-25. Just missed the glassy river so headed down to Nexen to escape the chop.

Super fun cranking gybes in glassy flat water in the river at low tide in steady SW 18-22. Big smiles all round. Alton Jr landed 4 strapless air gybes.

Super steady SW 20-25. Perfect day to learn kite foiling. Francis took my foil board upwind then we swapped surfboard for foil board. Worked on basic waterstarting and still figuring out taxi-ing. Got some great tips from Francis, Dustin, Henry and Ben. Eager to try them next time.

Alton Jr landed 15 strapless air gybes today. Half on my ghetto (donated then repaired) 8m Airush Ultra and the other half on her 5m.

Fun DuoTone demo day at the Spit in steady SW 15-16. I tried the 9m DuoTone Neo SLS and down looped all day.

Alton Jr tested the 7m DuoTone Neo SLS and landed tons of strapless air gybes.

Steady SW 18-22. Perfect to attempt kite foiling again. Now comfortably water starting and getting on the board straight ... now what? Next time I'll try riding out / taxi-ing with power instead of 12 o'clock. Hot temps were much appreciated.
