Another day of weird winds. It was either nuking - or almost dead.
It's really hard to rig for days like today. I really wanted to try out the North Mode Pro 4.8, but it just didn't seem like it would work out. I figured I'd pump up the SW2 5.2 and ride the Eagle 890
Bigger engine, higher gearing. I also wanted to get the stabilizer wet (just picked this up from Jeff today - I gave him back the loaner, this is my permanent one). To pick up foiling speed faster, I used No.34
I needed to get home so I didn't want to be out too long (getting stuck in afternoon traffic is not good). Good stats for the session!
There were no waves - at - all.
So hung out on the inside and got in some speed runs.
Really hard to rig for conditions like this...
Pretty good top speed!
I am also committing to being proficient at toe-side tacks this year. I forced myself to throw a couple - and I made them. The more I do them, the easier it will get. Just need a foil with great glide and power in the wing.
Should be stronger again tomorrow - I really want to try the North....
