Marlon and I hitched a ride on Prayot's boat out to Firsts. It was a lower tide so Firsts was breaking - albeit a little less frequently than Seconds. I rigged up the Wide 4'10" with the HA1125/232/A+ 60 fuse/72 cm mast. Perfect setup for the conditions!
Every now and then the winds would pick up to winging strength - in fact Brian and one of his friends did wing towards the end of our session. I felt good about skipping winging because there were long lulls between the good wind. Marlon started at Seconds, but after a while most everyone migrated to First. Marlon picked up some really good waves.
I had some long runs - 623' was my longest, and according to the Garmin I hit 30.4 mph (not likely, but there were multiple over 20 mph runs). I am starting to get the feel for this front foil.
I also met another retired Chief (DDC) - Marvin. He was the guy that got Prayot sold on the Lift HA120. Both Marvin and Prayot were on the HA170.
Here is the speed graph. Not sure I believe the 30mph reading, but I do believe the other over 20mph readings.
The swell was building, but it wasn't quite filled in yet. Mother's Day always has a swell!
