Harris and I are contemplating trading Spitfires - my 840 for his 900. He wants a smaller/faster foil and I'm looking for a smaller Foil Drive foil that doesn't eat a lot of battery on takeoff.
We've been trying to meet up, but today was the first time it worked out.
Since I was there... yup, I winged. North Mode Pro 4.8, No.36, Eagle 890/DW190, Evolution Cedrus Wind - PERFECT gear for today's conditions.
I moved the foil while out on the water a couple of times - here's where it ended up.
Oh - and my new Mystic Wing Foil bag came in - sweet package to protect the new board!
The wind was a little up and down, but the gear handled it all well.
And actually I spent today's session focusing on tacks - mainly my inside toe-side tacks. The video I watched saying "roll that wing over" made all the difference. Normally I get maybe 25% of this tack - after taking these small actions, I am now making 90% - and they are as much fun as the hee-side tacks!
I have never done as many tacks in a session as I did today - super breakthrough day!!!
Jim was out when I pulled up to the parking lot - but was beaching when I was finishing setup. He's getting eye surgery in a week, so he's trying to get in as much water time as he can. Looks like he had the better wind.
After working on my tacks, I headed out to Firsts to sampo some of da' waves. Small kine today - but good fo exercising my juicing skilz. I had a few good ones, then headed back so I wouldn't get too far behind the power curve (on getting through the afternoon traffic).
On the inside, I wanted to do some speed runs - I got some speed!
Fun quick session - that will go down in history (mine own) as the session that cemented the elusive toe-side tack!
