First water time of the new year! Winds were nuking so I opted to wing foil. With this being a new year I figured I'd try a new spot - White Plains Beach (yes I know it's not new, but it is new to me wing foiling wise).
With the wind way up, the surfer count was way down - but there were still several out there (getting blown down the shore at a good clip). I brought the same setup as yesterday, and pumped up the Ensis 5.2 (could have used the F One 4.2 Swing I think). The tide was dropping so I had to paddle the board out upside down a considerable distance to takeoff without touching bottom.
On the outside the wind was super strong - had to have been gusting near 40mph. I stuck several tack outside and a few jibes inside - necessity being a great motivator for improvement. I rode a bunch of non-breaking waves from the way outside, in through middles, back out and over to two-cots, and repeated the cycle. It was just Kalani and I for most of the 2 and a half hours I was out. Then Derrick, Leleo and one other guy came out. I had my fill after almost 2.5 hours of super powered up riding.
Great way to open up a new year!!!
