Went for an afternoon winging session. The wind had been blowing so I loaded up the 6.1, the 5.2 and the 4.7. As typical - when I pulled up to the parking lot, the wind had fallen off. Derek was grabbing a bigger wing from his van. The coconut palms were moving, just not as strong as I thought they would be. There were also no white caps out at sea. Not much debate - RS 6.1 it is.
La and Marlon came out to meet with some friends from Mississippi - she took some pictures of us - this one is me mid jibe.

And here I was going downwind on the inside (just before the surfer line up) surfing the unbroken swell before it stood up.

I got in 13.3 miles and spent most of my time at Coves/Fenceline (the wind was light and I didn't want to get stuck in the dead zone in front of the cabins). It was tempting to ride the transitioning swell in through the line up - but definitely not worth the pain if I got stuck.
Glad I had the 6.1
The RS 6.1 is an amazing wing - in this lighter wind, I was totally able to stay up on foil for long runs.

That's me in the background!!! The wind is forecasted to drop off to nothing - there is a trough settling in. I'm glad I got some winging in over the past several days.
