Dawn Patrol third day in a row. After much debate, Marlon brought his longboard and I brought the new 4'8".
The swell was pretty the same as yesterday. I had left the HS1250 on from yesterday's foil modification, but after looking at the surf I opted to put the CF1200 on. I used the finger-balance method to get the mast position close. I took the screw driver to the beach in case I needed to make adjustments.
I saw Marlon takeoff on a good wave - he stalled at the top and buried his nose. I thought he was going to eat it for sure, but he got the nose up and started dropping. Then he did it again - buried the nose and recovered.
This board is pretty light - but has enough weight that I can still catch waves. I rode three - taking the last one in to the beach. I could feel I was pushing more with my back foot so I adjusted the mast forward a 1/4" and it was perfect. I caught three more - and these confirmed the mast position.
A few of the waves were long - and I got some really fun turns in.
This was where the mast ended up. Doesn't leave much room for the HA1125 - but we'll see. This session got rid of the skunk for me - Kalani and Tim both said they still had the single wave session skunk on them. I didn't catch any bombs today, but from the results this is definitely going to be a great board!
Number 21 has been properly anointed!!!
