Almost a repeat of yesterday. Waves a little smaller (but closer period). Wind a little lighter, but still enough to use the SW2 4.7. I had contemplated using the Eagle 890 - but I'm glad I opted for the Eagle 1090. And the tide was really high so I had a low chance of grounding the foil.
Best winging combo I could ask for.
I spent almost an hour and a half out in the surf. Every now and then over head sets would still pull through - and I caught a bunch of them!!!
I was able to luff the wing a lot more today than yesterday.
I tacked onto several waves today, and also got in a behind the back tack.
I think for me, if the wind goes over 25 mph steady, that's when I would drop down to the Eagle 890. I really value the easy get up and go of the 1090. Especially if there are big whitewater walls moving around.
I thought I was going faster than 20mph - oh well, maybe that's where the 890 would work better.
Every time I look at the forecast, they keep extending this wind event one more day. I really need to stay home one day and get the mast tracks set into Kalani's board...
Not sure if that's tomorrow or not... it's going to be a really long light wind run after tomorrow.
