Marlon and I waited for the higher tide to go to the beach. We got there around 4pm - and there was a howling south wind (straight onshore) - thermals likely from the stagnant winds today. There were some sets of size today, but you had to wait patiently for them. I brought out the NL160 again - fourth session with this front foil and it has yet to disappoint.
I got really lucky with the initial placement of this mast/foil - spot on!
I caught several really long waves - and kept going left (crowds to the right and the swell was coming from the south - left was what was open).
I got a couple of waves where I pumped back out - this front wing is really versatile. I got past 22 mph today, so it is fast. I can pull banking turns redirecting on breaking sections easily - maneuverable. I hate to admit it, but this is quickly becoming my favorite front foil.
One last note, I did put a coat of carnauba wax on the fuselage, the front foil and the rear stabilizer - now it cuts like a hot knife through butter!
