I hit Kailua this morning hoping to snag some wind. The forecasts were correct - there was just enough wind to get up on foil. Probably blowing 10 to 15. There was a kite foiler out with an 11m RAM kite. This guy was setting up and 11m, but then changed his mind to put up a bigger kite.
Rex had already pumped up a Duotone Unit 6.0, and setup up a 75l board with his Eagle 990.
I rigged big - the RS 6.1, the WWFB and the Eagle 1090 (which has become my light wind foil).
I got in almost 14 miles in an hour. There were some really small waves, but I was just happy to be able to get up on foil and ride.
I was comfortably powered on the 6.1
At a few points, Rex and I were in close proximity to each other - and he would over take me. I'm not sure if it was the Eagle 990, or the F One Mast - but he was faster.
I'm so glad I winged this morning!
