Winged Hickam today with Jim, Kalani, Bill, Arvin, Tim and a few others.
I originally went out on the Eagle 1090 (light wind combo) - and Kalani saw a Spitfire in Jim's Element. He asked Jim if he could try and Jim said yes.
Big wings today - there were some good gusts, but for the most part the big wings were good (although Jim went in and downsized to his 5m).
My first session -
I was knocking out tacks both ways easy (Eagle 1090!). Jim headed out so I followed him.
Awesome session outside - on the sets the waves were well overhead. I tacked on to a bunch of peaking waves - SO MUCH FUN!
Decent top speed. Then Kalani asked if I wanted to try out the Spitfire...
We headed in and we swapped foils.
At 1006 cm^2 this foil was surprisingly supportive (plenty of lift). It turns like the Vyper - and it is super fast.
I caught tons of waves at Firsts - and I was doing things on this foil that I hadn't even conceived of before - this foil is so maneuverable!
Peak speed was reached multiple times -
I'm going to have to rethink my foil choices...
