The tide was dropping from a high of 2.3'. The wind was blowing 12 to 16 mph, but there was a lot of North to it. In fact, the longer the session, the more the wind shifted more North. I actually was holding a line, but I got to a point where I just transferred the wing leash down to my ankle and started paddling in.
Winging is way easier than windsurf wave foiling - I got on foil on port tack and stayed on foil forever. I was able to get on foil pretty much every time was close to the runway. On the other hand, I was only able to get up on foil a couple of times. I think this was mainly due to the north wind and me not wanting to go downwind to build speed.
Today's conditions are definitely at the low end of the Echo. I never had to drop the wing, but I got close. During the gusts, the wing felt really good. Tomorrow is supposed to be better - stronger winds and more from the East. Great start to winging!!!
