The wind was not supposed to be up on Sunday, but when La said she was going to Hickam to go shopping, I figured I could hitch a ride and extract some of the energy in the air that was making all the trees dance around. Same setup as last time, but the wind was lighter, so I ended up using the Ensis 6.0 (had actually already pumped up the 5.2 - but the center strut popped while I was setting up the board - I was better off with the 6.0 anyways). I also swapped out the 300 rear stab for the 232. As suspected, I felt a little more back foot pressure - I'll need to bring the foil a hair more forward to compensate for the reduced lift from the tail.
Made a beeline straight for First's. Perfect 15 to 25mph for the Ensis 6.0. After going back and forth out there for a bit, there were two lulls where I had to sit and wait. Once was while I was way outside the channel.
Really pretty water out there - super clear and can see the bottom. Almost too clear - let's just say it felt good once the wind picked back up and I could head back in.
I love winging!!!!
