The wind was questionable this afternoon. The forecast had changed from dead to something - but I still wasn't confident in the wind. I opted not to bring the Takuma RS 6.1 - but brought nearly everything else.
Based on the conditions I saw when I got to the beach, I settled on the SWX 5.2 and the Kujira 980. I added more loctite - this outing was to be another test session (to see if the screws would give way - spoiler - they held just fine)
There were whitecaps when I was setting up (without the truck I have to dissemble the foil to transport it) - but by the time I was launching, the wind had back off. Then when I made it outside the breakers, it pretty much died. Eventually the gusts pulled through and I was able to get up on foil and start riding.
Roland was out on his 3.6m2 Spin (and a Hyper 190 foil) - and even with the lighter winds he was able to pull off some jumps.
I got stuck twice in wind drop offs. I didn't want to push my luck - so I headed in. Derek was just finishing setting up when I had finished showering. He proceeded to rip everything up!
You can see the low wind runs (sucked). I had some fun unbreaking walls that I got to ride.
Take note of the three dips...
Marlon is getting really good with his drones! If you are looking for an aerial photographer, give him a shout!
Great day!
