I ran some errands with La today (and the wind kept getting stronger throughout the day). When we got home, I packed the truck and headed to the beach.
The wind was producing white caps and periodically a chest high set would roll through. Launching wasn't too bad with the high tide.
Eagle 890 -
I opted for No.25 to make sure I wouldn't get stuck outside if the wind dropped.
And likewise I pumped up the SW2 5.2 to make sure I had adequate power.
Super fun session today! Mark, Roland, Derek and I were all out.
I tried to execute tacks on to incoming waves - but my completion rate was not so good today. I'm thinking the smaller front wing, longer fuse and different rear stabilizer made for a less turny setup with less glide. I did nail a few though.
I never felt overpowered today - bigger wings paired with smaller foils helps on the marginal days where you go with the bigger wing.
Lots of tripping on the botched tack attempts.
Fun thermal session!!!
