The plan for this morning based on the forecast yesterday was to wing at WPB around 9am. I woke up early (like normal) and checked the forecast - it had fallen apart and the wind was forecasted to stay at marginal levels - except at Kailua. The forecast called for wingable winds for the early morning - I packed up and headed over.
I used the SW2 5.2, No.25 and the F One Eagle 1090/DW210.
The wind was marginal - and I actually had to reset (small walk of shame back to the launch) before I got up on foil. Once up, I was able to stay up for quite some time.
Not a bad run considering the cloudy conditions and light winds.
ENE direction - it actually felt onshore when launching - but on foil the wind seemed to bend to its normal direction. The waves were small - and you had to be at the right place at the right time to get a section. I got to whack a peak on almost every run so I'd say it was a good session...
Then came the knock down - I tripped a jibe and it took a while to get back up. By this time the wind had gotten lighter and I figured it was time to cut my losses.
There were several guys out on F One Strike CWC 7s and 8s. I think if I had the North Mode Pro I could have stayed out longer.
