The wind was forecasted to be wingable strength, with a favorable ENE direction for one more day. Throughout the day, there were signs it was going to ramp up - but it only got up to the marginal range.
Unfortunately for me I only brought out my RS5.1 (not the 6.1 of the North LW 8.0).
Having has psycho nuking winds for the past several days spoiled me.
I bolted on the F One Eagle 1090 setup. This foil does get up early and is responsive to pumping.
I didn't stay out long - and my motivation was not getting stuck outside.
This picture was from the only tack I got in today. My objective today was to just work on tacks (so much for that). Leaning in to heel-toe carving tacks is so much fun!!!
The rest of my transitions were jibes - just trying to stay up on foil...
And these pictures are pretty much in reverse order (you can follow my trail below - the tack was the last thing I did before going in).
Not having to swim in definitely caps a short but good day of turning. The northerly shift seems to have arrived early.
Not a bad top end speed considering the conditions.
I guess it's time to break out the surfboards again for the evening sessions!
