Last day with the truck (and its tremendous conveniences) before I have to drop it off at the body shop to get my self-inflicted wounds (smashed in rear quarter panel) fixed up. Body shop guy said 2 weeks + or -. Oh well - time to practice my "I can get it in there" routine.
Setup the same gear as the past several sessions - but swapped out the wide wing board for the narrow. On the front foil, I wanted to try one last thing (suggestion from Prayot to use loctite on the screws) before drilling out the existing screw holes and placing in M6 helicoils. I used the NWFB because I figured I should start getting used to winging with footstraps again as a prelude to learning to jump this season.
BLUF - the loctite made it better - only loosened up towards the end of the session, but it didn't stop the wiggling. Time to do some surgery...
No surprise here - 1/4" back from the 1095 placement.
The waves were definitely bigger - Harris had a few waves that were overhead while he was up on foil. I caught a few good ones, but they were as big as the ones Harris caught. I just had some hesitancy pushing the 1210 really hard.
There was a pretty big school of halalu moving around the harbor. I ran through it a few times and I could feel the fish bumping into the foil and the mast. I didn't see the bigger things that chase the bait balls.
The wind was pretty hard to read - it kept swinging back and forth from the East then more North.
Fun session despite the issues.
