OMG!
The forecasted south swell hit this afternoon - and when the proper sets were coming through, the waves were big. There was almost zero wind. With the super high tide, the trip out was easy (but I ended up consuming some voltage because of the length to get out to the Foil Drive lineup).
Same stuff as yesterday -
Robby was already out when I got to the water. He was catching everything.
I was having a hard time actually dealing with the perfect conditions (I've gotten used to the wind and the chop - smooth water was throwing me a loop). I eventually got calibrated and everything came together.
And Marvin and Dennis also made it out. Marvin picked up a JS Black Eagle foil board and Dennis was using Marvin's 5'4" Quatro.
I had picked up some pretty good sized waves throughout the session. But as I was telling Dennis I had to go in, I picked up a wave that turned out to be the first of a big bomber set - halfway through the ride I looked left and right and there was no place to go - close to double overhead feathering walls either side - I told myself "just don't fuck up and everything will be fine"
The wave broke in multiple sections and I rode it out. That was probably the single biggest wave I've caught on foil...
Then the other 6 waves in the set came through - closeouts on the far outside every one of them.
That top speed is pretty crazy on the Spitfire 960 (although probably not as ridiculous as I think since I have the Skinny rear stabilizer mounted - pretty crazy that the stabilizer could make that much difference).
What a session!!!!
