The trades started to come back today! Big crew greeted the returning winds - Jesse, Matt, Bill, Arvin, Ken, Harris, Jim, Roland, Kalani and a few others.
Contrary to the trees moving all along the drive to the beach, the winds were up and down. The early shift said pump up the big winds.
I set up the 1210 - if I had the 1440 I would have put that foil on.
Kalani was trying to get the foil setup on his new wing board.
Nice board -
I spent two hours out and had two sessions out in the waves. With the wind up and down, I had ridden a few waves, then felt it was going to drop out and headed back in. It did fill back in and I did go out - until it wasn't blowing. I got stuck way outside and drifted out in front of Seconds.
The wind did fill back in and I headed back in and got stuck on a line between the outside reef markers and the marina. I didn't want to paddle back in so I kept trying. This was some really good light wind skills training.
Nice correlation between my speed and the wind chart.
Marvin was borrowing the Eagle so I didn't have it with me. Tomorrow I'll wing again and try to beat the wind speed again.
