After work session at Hickam. I wanted to try jumping today so I put on the footstraps. I took a guess on the location based off of the pictures I had taken, and on the width of the straps.
Everything else was the same as the past few days - RS 5.1/1210-178/85cm mast on No.25.
I headed out and made a few turns to see if the straps were in the right spot - then I headed out (over the reef since it was high tide) to Firsts. There were some waves breaking and I got to ride several - but the straps weren't dialed in.
I headed in to make the adjustments and they ended up where you see them now (fingers up indicate the footstrap insert hole number from the front).
I forgot my watch at work so I used my phone and Strava for the track and speed log. With the footstraps, I went ahead and tried jumping. I got airborne four times - each higher than the previous attempt. I can see some height in my future when I do this with incoming waves.
Good wind today!
