Evening Session - 7/9/2020

I made a solo run to WPB this evening.  Tide was on its way up to 1.7'.  The wind was up initially, but dropped to almost nothing by dusk.  And the swell was a surprise - chest + on the sets.

I had thought the waves would be smaller so I swapped out the GL140 (would have been perfect) for the GL180.  Shorter mast mounted on the skinny 4'10".  I needed a couple of calibration waves to get my footing.  The setup didn't quite feel automatic - I had to find the sweet feet spot and it didn't feel like it was where it was with the GL140.  I think the setup is telling me to move the foil back a tiny notch.  

Besides that, I did have a few breaches, but most of my rides were really long.  Another fun day out in the waves!!!
