Rainy morning dawn patrol.
The surface had a lot of texture on it and the waves had some size. Pretty much the opposite of the forecast.
And I brought the HPS980 thinking there wouldn't be a whole lot of energy in the waves... wrong!
And I'm not absolutely sure but as I was having a hard time getting the foil to lift the board clear of the water, I suspect the velcro straps were working to make the board "sticky".
Despite all that, I still had fun! And if on my next session I can pop up and clear the board, I'll have learned something (fabric causes drag). Which would be a darn shame because I'd rather not have to waste tape all the time.
7 miles on the session - 2.5 hours out and came in with 25% battery.
Rides were kind of all over the place. When I did clear the board, I did have some long rides.
I count 16 longer rides - which seems about right. I did throttle up a lot more than that, but for the reasons listed above, I did not catch and ride those waves.
Definitely using the Spitfire and electrical tape tomorrow...
