Winged again this afternoon. Today was way better than yesterday!
The wind was stronger, steadier and had more east in it. That seemed to help kill a bunch of the chop that was in the water yesterday. That also made the ride more fun -
The tide was high - that's always nice (especially on the foils).
Bo-bo was chilling on the beach.
Same gear as yesterday - just switched out the SK8 950 for the Eagle 890 (and everything felt better - probably would have been the opposite if the waves were bigger).
It was just Kalani and I today -
The wind was such that I could ride the waves through the break in front of the Cabins - usually that's the dead zone...
I got a bunch of tacks in - as long as there was enough wind it was easy.
This is the chart from Hickam. They might have had a tad bit more wind than we did at WPB. I felt perfectly powered on the 4.7 for most of the session (so we were probably a notch below this - but more than the Kalaeloa meter was showing).
The Eagle 890 was perfect for today - I had the speed to stay ahead of the waves (unbroken and running) and this foil can surf nicely. Maybe the SK8 750 would have worked also???
I might try to sneak in a lunch session tomorrow and get the parawing wet (check out the next post)
