Evening Session - 5/16/2023

I had my first colonoscopy yesterday morning.  The prep was laborious and I adjusted my schedule around it - but the check is all done.  By the afternoon I felt better and went out to foil.  Marlon came with to longboard.

The wind was slightly less strong than Monday.  The tide was way up - not sure where that flip happened.  And the waves were definitely bigger.

Marlon was catching a bunch - but he went in halfway during my session because the tight lineup had a pretty aggressive crowd.


I setup No.21, but I couldn't remember where I had the Progression 170 set in the tracks.  I started with it mounted full forward, but I recall that's where I had the Vyper 170 situated.  I went ahead and brought a pocket sized Phillips screwdriver to make adjustments.

I was actually having a hard time catching waves at the front half of the session.  The waves would back down and flatten out in the middle.  And when I did catch a wave, I had to recalibrate where my feet went.  After I did catch my first real ride, I could tell the mast was too far forward and rode the wave all the way in.

I set the mast back and paddled out again.  I ended up catching plenty more waves and the foil/board performed as expected.


This is where the base ended up.


Fun rides in marginal conditions!
