HIC was setting up for their military surfing contest. There were some really big buoys in the water - but none of that mattered - I brought the foil drive. Marlon came with and brought his longboard.
I setup the ART999 with the HA380 rear stabilizer. This stabilizer made the takeoffs more progressive, but also didn't provide much push on the occasions I was pumping out. I think next time I will used the 375P.
I did catch a handful of incredibly long waves. I am getting used to the process of throttling for a wave, waiting for the speed to build up, and then getting to my feet. This last bit is what is giving me grief - pretty much the weight of the battery and not beinging able to po up instantly like I am used to from prone foiling.
I am going to have to get that coiled ankle leash - I finally got a method down for using a waist mounted version, but it still felt awkward.
The other thing I noticed was the battery box placement - I had it centered, but the battery in the box is not centered. I could feel the weight bias towards the starboard side. Not a big deal, but it was something I could sense.
