Dawn Patrol - 10/22/2023

Waves were a little smaller than yesterday (this is the tail end of the last swell - there is another moving in tomorrow and it will peak on Wednesday).  Tide was on the low side but rising.  Zero wind.


Same setup as yesterday - but moved the mast up a notch (and it felt much better - more balanced foot pressure).


With the smaller waves, the paddle out was pretty nonchalant.


It was hardly breaking on the outside, so I stayed pretty close the pack for the beginning of the session.  I'd pick off a wave and take it left to avoid getting mixed in with the surfers.

Eventually I ended up in front of the cabins.  I picked up and few there and then worked my way back to the first cabin.

Turns today were more carvy, despite having the HPS980.  It was more about the lean and tuck, than the front foil today.


The count is 33 waves in 2 hours - ridiculous number in times before the Foil Drive - now this is the normal.


This session was proof the HPS980 is still relevant (small waves session saver).
