And after picking up the new car and getting it settled in the garage, I headed out for an afternoon winging session.
Pretty much the same conditions as this morning, except with a high tide getting higher (1.9').
I went conventional this afternoon - F One Eagle 1090/DW210 Stabilizer bolted on to the 85cm Project Cedrus Mast. There were white caps, so I pumped up the Reedin SW2 4.7
This gear was so much fun to use. Plenty more pitch stable than the Triton X-1 (no surprise there) - and today I needed the stability. The set waves were overhead while I was up on foil!!!
I picked off some good sized waves - and got really long rides out of them. On a few waves, I luffed the wing while I was setup as a goofy foot - I was concerned with potentially wiping out during these rides but I didn't (and the scary thing was that it actually felt normal).
I got a few waves by tacking on to them (look for the sharp points above).
Good wind for the wing/foil combo.
When you take the big wipeout 46mph event, I did record a 20.6mph max speed and several other 20+mph rides.
This was another one of those epic sessions - so coupled with this morning's session, that makes today likely one of the best foiling days I've had!!!
