Had to work late last night so I was going into the office a few hours late. Instead of sleeping, I went foiling. It was peak high tide at 1.5', there was no wind and the swell had chest high waves on the sets - it was perfect for foiling!
I brought the 4'10" setup with the Armstrong CF1600. Having used the Go Foil so much recently, the Armstrong does feel like using a hot knife cutting butter - so smooth! I still won't take this foil out if the tide is low - it's way too expensive to be grinding on the reef. The Go Foil is infinitely easier to fix so it still has a firm place in my quiver. I only had an hour but I caught five really long waves - I wish I could have stayed all morning. This swell is supposed to stick around for a couple more days...
