Today's dawn patrol was similar to yesterday - but the lines were more distinct, set waves were good once they hit the shallows points, the tide was lower, and the wind held off longer.
I did mix it up a little bit - adding on the HPS 980 and the 400 Progressive Stabilizer.
I thought it the nearly 300 extra square centimeters, this foil would have way more lift than the ART 999 - but it didn't. It was progressive (in lift) and I had to move it up twice to get it dialed in. After that I could carve some really hard turns. My favorite move was getting to the top of a developing section (after using the whole vertical face of the swell) and dropping in while carving back to go the way I came - converting speed into pure torque - it feels incredible!!!
Here's where the mast ended up - pretty much where the Kujira 1210 is placed (not using Foil Drive).
These summer low tide mornings on the weekends are awesome now I have gotten the hang of the Foil Drive - I can head out beyond the longboard crowd and ride swell before it even starts to stand up, carve all the way in and kick out before the longboarders can even catch the wave. In trying to classify this - I'd describe it as winging without the wing.
