I decided to prone foil today. And I decided to use the GoFoil with the 4'8". I checked the surf and figured I should use a smaller (but not too small) front foil - I settled for the NL160.
Roland, Eli and Paul were there getting set up when I arrived. I was thinking there would not be enough wind, but sure enough once they got out the wind picked up. And it kept getting stronger as the rain clouds blew through.
I tried to focus on prone foiling and tweaking the mast position. I caught probably eight waves - and I moved the mast a few times. The ones I did catch (higher tide so the waves were not cooperating - not to mention the strong wind) were fun and yielded long rides. On one adjustment, I clearly had it too far forward - tons of front foot pressure required to keep it in check. After that I pushed it back - I thought to the 160 line... maybe it drifted on its own -
Oddly enough, this is where it felt most intuitive under foot. And low and behold it was where the mast started out today (I had the GL180 on earlier).
