As far as the rides went, the Go Foil Iwa on the 5'2" was perfect for today. I had several really long rides - one where I got a three part infinity turn. I also had one where after a long ride, I was able to pump back out and just missed a 2 for 1 . The trick is to come off the wave you are riding with as much speed as you can - then on the way out you need to get into a rhythm to sustain flight. I'm going to score a 2 for 1 soon - I can feel it!
On the last wave, I got greedy and was pumping in (so I wouldn't have to paddle), but I hit bottom hard (and went flying off the board). I hit on the rear wing. I already sanded it and got a coat of paint on - and since I was using sandpaper, I even put the 45 degree chamfer on the rear wing in order to get the foil to stop humming.
Trailing edge sanded
Another awesome session!
