And I made it to the party - but not without getting caught (La used Life360 to see where I was at)!!!

Shhhhhh - 5th time out on the Hypernut (Fourth Time Windsurf Foiling it)
I had to pull a longer shift on Sunday at work - and I had a family Holiday Party to get to afterwards. But with the wind blowing, I didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to continue developing my foil skills. The wind was forecasted to hang right around 15 mph, but by the time I got to the launch, there were zero whitecaps - still some texture to the water surface, but it was probably closer to 10-12. I decided to keep everything the same so I could see what difference the wind speed would make. My findings were the 5.0 I rigged was marginal - most likely would have done better rigging a 5.7 (and will do that next time). Despite the under powered situation, I did still manage to get up on the foil more than a few times and for longer consistent runs. Several dry jibes (not on foil, but just lots of balancing to keep dry) and I was able to make it back to the launch. I haven't had this much fun going straight in a long time!!!
