Caught an afternoon session -
Waves were intermittent - but belly high when they came. I think the West swell is finally passing us. The weather was pretty wet and cold. I actually had a hard time seeing because there was no contrast between the sky and the ocean.
At least the weather kept the crowd at bay -
I brought the Progression 170/flex rear stab setup on the 68cm Project Cedrus mast (classic). For the board, I broke out No.31
No.31 is probably the smallest I would go when prone foiling. I'm estimating this board to be about 35 liters - so pretty much my shortboard volume.
I botched the first few rides - which I always do when changing back to prone from either surfing, Foil Drive prone foiling, winging, etc. It didn't help that I was on a different board also - but after those first few everything was coming together again.
I was able to get a few triples, and a ton of good carves in.
I actually think No.31 may be a good Foil Drive Max board. Will have to cycle this in once the FDM is in hand.
I did move the mast up twice from the starting point (white dots). The original placement was definitely too far back because I had to coax the board up. This position felt a lot better, but I'll still need to experiment with it. I thought I moved the boxes up on this board when I did the second install...
Tomorrow the trades return. It'll be a bit northerly at first, but by Sunday it'll be mostly from the East. Debating if I want to do an after work session at Hickam, or beat feet home and hit WPB... low tide... hmmmmm.
