I took La's car in to the dealer to get a tow hitch installed. It took forever and started to mess with my winging timeline. The hitch looks great - and I finally got to Hickam at 4:15. While I was setting up, the wind was in a lull - so I pumped up the 5.2. I could have easily used the 4.5. I did want to continue using the HS1250 and Chopped 300 to get the difference between the 95cm and 85cm masts.
The wind was nuking! When the gusts came through, I was getting dragged around even with the wing straight overhead - it was AWESOME!!!!
When the gusts backed down, I would try to get speed runs in. I topped out at 17.2 kt - I think I need a smaller front foil if I'm going to go faster. I've got the CF800, but I think starting that may be too difficult.
I got another toe-side tack in - don't get to do that much since I really don't ride toe-side too often - I'd rather switch stance. Prayot had to leave and get to a dinner event. I had three people's worth of winging gear and boards in the truck!
Might do Kailua in the morning, and back to Hickam in the evening!
