The tradewinds came back today - I pulled a second foiling session over at Hickam (since I had to stop in at work anyways).
The wind was on the light side - there were times I could not get up even with the Eagle 1090 and Reedin SW2 5.2. Still really fun session!
Nice wind direction. Harris was out when I pulled in to the parking lot. Ken was just finishing setting up.
I headed out to Firsts when I started the session. Nice waves would come in periodically, but eventually the wind started faltering. I was lucky and made it through the lulls and pulled upwind towards the taxiway. The F One Eagle 1090 is an incredible foil for winging - I pulled several dry tacks without even really thinking about it.
The image got altered a bit while being saved as a png - I was out from 2:30 to 4 ish so I had decent wind.
Not a bad top end speed considering the wind flowing through the area.
This is Harris's new wing - the F One Strike V3 5.0
Harris was saying this wing was a little light in the low end, but really good at pulling upwind - typical for wings with shallow drafts.
The Strike 5.0 replaced this - the Sling Wing 5.0
