I have been doing some other things the past couple of days - so despite the cranking winds, I was not out winging. Well - today is likely to be the last windy day for a week or so - and I hit the beach after work. I rigged the same foil and board as the past few times - but the wind seemed to be on the lighter side - since I was limited on time, I pumped up the 6.0
Well - I got tricked because the wind was pretty spectacular (check the graph below). I was out from 3:15 to about 4:20 - with gusts hitting past 30mph - this was Mr. Toad's wild ride!!!! With plenty of power in the wing, I was nailing every single transition. I was up on foil for so long, my hair was getting dry. I did wipe three times, but only because I was pushing the turns.
I think if I had the HS1250 or HA1125, I wouldn't have been overpowered (but then again, I wouldn't have been overpowered!!!!). Super fun session today!!!!
More errands and garage work for the next week (low wind and small surf).
