I committed an act of desperation yesterday afternoon - I went winging despite my better judgement. From this picture it looked like a lake - flat, calm and the opposite of what you want for winging.
But every now and then a gust would pull through and it looked totally doable. I had setup the GL210 - light wind beast (the GL240 is a monster - I've used Dennis's before - but for days like this....)
And this - the Reedin Super Wing X 5.2m. Once you get up on foil, this thing generates so much power! In conditions where the Ensis V2 6.0m would have been difficult, I managed to rip along at a good clip.
Mind you - this was not ideal. There were more lulls than gusts and I spent most of the time schlogging.
The times I was up pretty correlates to the peak on the wind chart.
Good to know the low end of the X-wing.
