Marlon and I hit it again in the evening. The crowd was still pretty thick when we drove up at 5:30pm.
The waves were bigger, but the period was pretty short - no time between waves to rest. Constant paddling and fighting white water. I had bolted on the Go Foil Iwa on the 29.5" mast. I had a hard time keeping the foil down with all the chop - Go Foils float, Slingshots sink. I did get some rides, but I had the foil mounted probably too far forward.
Too much lift from this position. Looking back at previous posts, I should have dropped it all the way back. The tide was high and was just below 2.0', but even with that depth I 'bumped' bottom. Anyday in the ocean is a good one, but dialing in a foil can slow things down.
