Mount McSauba delivers on South thermals

Woo. Drive to Charlevoix pays off big with Southern wind flow. 1pm started to tease light gusts as we did long walk out to beach from the McSauba parking lot. Soon after we're 10-20 and building sun and 82 degrees - lets rig. 12 and Duke right on but definitely gusty and holes. Sticking with it and seeing the huge boulders through the crystal clear its now solid 12 with swell. Cool water and shallow depths makes this spot great with some onshore flow. Got to sail Duke barefoot and what a difference even over the 5 toe booties. Some great heelside action right into crowds on shore. Fun stuff with impressive ease of feet switching barefoot. Next it's full 10" of depower and SSW 20-30 hanging on. 3:30 now and it's 9m but time to hit road but 12 too much now. Tough to leave but nice 2 hour sesh that wasn't planned at this great sandy point site. Now we got our South wind spot near LTB.
