Kalani and I hit Hickam on this Father's Day afternoon. When we pulled up, Zach was finishing up (Harris, Matt, Jesse were still out - Clinton was setting up and Norm had just pulled up - full house).
There was texture on the water so I stuck to my plan - testing the Ezzy Flight 5.0 (latest version), along with getting the F One SK8 750 dialed in on No.36
I had a hard time getting the Ezzy to lift me off the water and onto foil. Was on the struggle bus for about 18 minutes - but then I was out in the wind line and caught a gust. All was good after that (until later when I was trying to head in).
The waves were really good - I saw almost everyone catching some good sized rides.
I caught a monster from the outside (was heading out to stronger winds so I could turn - just so happens the turn coincided with nabbing a freight train).
I had plenty of great rides today!
The wind was perfect for a 5.0 - but the Ezzy and I were not gelling today. I sent Donnel an email with the feedback - but basically it didn't have low end (which is something I believe designers based on Maui don't get - lighter wind wings need to have some draft).
I really enjoyed the session - the wing was fine as long as there was decent wind, and the SK8 750/Carve 195 were really solid in the waves. I even got the whole setup to 22.6 mph
Good Father's Day session!!!
