La wasn't feeling well, so I stayed home until she was feeling better. Around noon I was able to go to Hickam and grab a quick winging session. Ryan and Jim were out - the wind was up and down still - but trending towards good.
I brought No.25, the Eagle 1090/DW210, and the RS 5.1.
I also used the Gath Helmet I recently got on Ebay for the first time. This one has the retractable visor (for when it is ridiculously sunny - or rainy like yesterday was).
Usually on the first day back winging (after a dry spell) I like to take it easy, get a bunch of transitions in, and get my muscle memory established again.
I got in 12.31 miles in just under an hour. My first transition was a heel to toe tack - these feel so good when they are executed correctly. When the wind was right for it, I did pull a toe to heel tack on the inside. The Eagle 1090 makes a huge difference in being able to pull this tack (for me).
I went out to Firsts and caught some really fun waves - especially one where I was in the pocket as it broke -
The anemometer at the airport was messed up - but the wind was about perfect for the RS 5.1
Wind is on tap for days according to the forecasts! Small wings and small foils!
