The forecast extended the wind event one more day - my body was telling me to rest, but I figured I can rest when the wind dies back starting tomorrow.
The wind was up, but this was definitely the lightest of the past several days. The tide was up, and the waves were also smaller than the previous days.
Same setup as the past few days.
Getting started was the hardest part today. Once I got up, I didn't drop off foil for nearly an hour. The wind felt like it had more North in it today.
I got some solid tacks straight onto waves - SO MUCH FUN!!!
I think this wind was the lower limit of the SW2 4.7
I prepped the SW2 5.2 I got from Donnel - I added the leash pigtail and the harness line. I also sprayed waterproofing onto the canopy of both the 4.7 and the 5.2
Look at the solid blue!!! The Eagle 1090 is that good at winging!!!
I think the 26.5mph reading was a wipeout while I was starting up. I felt my top speed was slower today (looks like I didn't hit 20mph today) - but that was the lower wind speed.
This was a really great run of wind and waves! I got to try the Triton X-1 and ride some great waves with that foil and the Eagle 1090.
With the wind down, I may try to get a new wingboard shaped that can also double as a prone board for use with the Foil Drive. That is if I don't blow through time by prone foiling....
