The crew was buzzing about the afternoon session - reports of good sized waves and light (to no) wind... all I could think about was getting the Foil Drive setup and hitting it!!!
The tide was low (so I had to paddle a ways out to get to deeper water) but that made for some exciting wave shape (steeper faces and some lip thrown).
I setup No.33 with the Spitfire 960/375P. This unit and mast position is perfect!
I was on the throttle for almost the entire session - keeping position on the outside was challenging as the big sets would force you to go further out (to not get clobbered), while the smaller (head high) sets had you more inside to pick them up.
The wind also picked up mid-session - it was pretty much wingable strength. But that also drove a side chop, which when mixed with the air-entrained water made for hard riding conditions.
That said - I did manage to snag several fun waves. Prayot was also on the outside on his regular SUP surfing equipment.
From the graph, I picked up 17 waves in 72 minutes
And this is the 4th time Marvin was out - and this is the 4th board he had out.
This one was a looker for sure - 17.5" wide at 45 liters. He said he wasn't jiving with it (borrowed from Paul Cooper). We'll see if tomorrow has good conditions to go back out - otherwise I'll probably wait for the wind to come back and get some home stuff done.
