Strong winds today!
Strong enough to use the Ezzy Flight 4.0!!! I setup the SK8950/C200 on the 85cm PC mast bolted to No.32 to accompany the wing. I figured if the wind lightened up, I would stand a better chance of getting back up on foil with the 950 (instead of the 750).
And the stats should speak for themselves - great session!!!
Waves were breaking on the outside and with the east winds it lined up nicely.
Lots of people out winging today - Kalani, me, the Slingshot guy, Prayot, Roland and Eli. And Robby was out on his Foil Drive.
I got in a bunch of heelside tacks onto incoming waves, one of which I whipped around pretty hard and actually hurt my neck (just a little).
And with the stronger wind, I got in three toeside tacks. They are starting to get a little easier.
Looks like I hit this peak a few times over the session. The Ezzy definitely proved to be faster, higher pointing and more luffable than the other wings I've been using - its a really good wing.
There was some fluttering - a little further down the wing than the 5.0 (after the 2nd batten) - but it was actually really minor.
Super fun session today!!!
I think I may hit Hickam tomorrow and get in some speed runs with the Eagle 690.
