The wind was not as strong as it was yesterday - but still good.
I had a hard stop time to go pick up Marlon - so I made this an experimentation session. I used No.33 as a wingboard!!!
Considering these marks were made using the Foil Drive Assist Plus, I had to do some correlation and I ended up with the mast placement here. I think I could have used a tiny bit more lift - maybe lining up with the Spitfire 960 (FDA+) setting.
With the wind as up and down as it was, I really should have used a bigger wing - but I pumped up the North Mode Pro 4.8 (experimentation day!!!).
I schlogged quite a bit today - not sure if it was the slightly smaller wing for the up and down wind, the fact that No.33 sinks if not powered up, or this being the first time I used this board for this purpose.
I was the first one out for a bit. Then Brantly, Anson, Arvin and Harris all came out almost all at once.
I stayed on the inside with Arvin and wanted to develop a feel for this board.
Neat pattern today. And it looks like I was up on foil a bunch - but that is not the true. You need the two graphs below to see what was really happening.
Way up, and way down -
As long as I didn't touchdown, I was fine. But once I did I had to wait for a while to pick up a gust. Towards the end of the session I had developed a feel for how this board turned and I got brave enough to make a few speed run. Surprise surprise - 23.0 mph - not too shabby.
The wind should be much stronger tomorrow. Probably going to switch out to one of the smaller Eagles.
