First off - Hauoli la Hanau to my sister Veronica.
Next, Marlon and I hit WPB after I got home from work. It was windy - wing foiling windy - but I didn't bring my gear. Instead, I brought the wide 4'10" outfitted with the NL160. Marlon brought his trusty longboard. Besides the wind, the conditions had a high tide and a decent swell running - chest high on the sets!
Kalani had come in by the time I showed up - he had brought out his new Axis 910/chopped 370 foil. Roland and Prayot were out. I caught a bunch of waves and got to ride them for a long time. All was not perfect though - there was significant chop on the water and it caused me to pop the tail more than a few times. I pumped back out on a few of the waves - I love this front foil more than any other foil that I have tried to date. It is fast, it holds in drops and it pumps out with the best of them. This is Prayot's Lift HA170. It is actually kinda funny how all of us have drifted away from Armstrong for prone foiling - Kalani has broken masts and fuselages, Prayot is more dialed in on his Lifts, and I have gone back to GoFoil. But we still gravitate to Armstrong for winging.
The wind is finally filling back in - winging sessions abound!!!
Things to note - booby bird was flying around the break today.
