And with the wind blowing pretty hard around my house, I packed up some gear and some optimism and headed over to WPB.
Reedin SW2 4.7, No.36, Evolution Cedrus Wind Mast, and the SK8 750/Carve 195 foil set.
And while we were setting up, the wind was whitecapping. But by the time we were launching, it had died back a notch.
Everyone (Roland, Kalani and I) were able to launch without much issue. Norm was already out.
But the wind did slack a few times.
When the wind was up - it was really fun. The wind swell was running so there were rides to be had.
Those long blue trails are the lulls - and me drifting downwind trying in vain to get back up on foil. If I had the SW2 5.2 and the SK8 950 (or even the Eagle 1090) I'd be up a lot more than I was.
When the wind was up, it was really fun - too bad it wasn't really up.
I was actually down more than I was up... the forecast couldn't have been more wrong.
