Dawn Patrol - 5/20/2023

Dawn patrol - no wind, smooth wave faces, low and dropping further tide - waist high waves with lulls in between.

I opted to not bring out the Foil Drive just yet - I'll get the mounts placed on the striped wing foiling board and then take it out.  I also didn't feel right taking it out if Kalani's board wasn't ready (I should be able to get it back to him tomorrow).  Although when I was in the lineup, I could not help but think about how many more waves I could have caught....


I setup up No.21 with the 68(72cm) Project Cedrus mast (low tide...)

My first several waves were not impressive - weird how just a few sessions can recalibrate your muscle memory.  I was wiping out because my feet were landing in the wrong spots.  The asymmetric foil board I have been using is a couple of inches shorter and narrower than No.21

I did eventually find my footing and got in some really fun rides.  Then the waves backed off - a lot.

Marlon had paddled over to Camp Grounds because the Saturday morning crowd was pretty thick (again - another reason to think about use of the Foil Drive...).


Fun session!
