Wing Foiling Session - 10/20/2024, Part 1

Ezzy wing testing day!  The wind was "there" - but it was challenging...

Starting on the left - Donnel labelled these "Molokai", "V2" and "first Blue"

I used first Blue first -

Since the texture on the water was not indicative of what was happening with the trees, I rigged big - No.34 with the F One Eagle 1090

first Blue was light in hand and seemed to luff the best.  It also pointed higher than the others.

Decent winds for the first run

That blue line at the bottom was my start - needed to head back towards shore to use swell to get up to foiling speed.  Other than the initial start, the Ezzy wings (all of them) are incredibly efficient.  I was staying up in the light trades (but most wingers couldn't get up).

Not bad considering the conditions.

I headed to shore and changed out the wings - next up was Molokai

The wind was even lighter this run.  Same "head towards shore and start using swell" - after that I didn't go down - I don't think I would have gotten back up.  This red wing did not point as high as the blue one.

It felt more powerful than the blue one.  And it luffed a little worse than the blue wing.

Despite the light wind, this wing performed well.

The wind was dropping off so I went in and gave Donnel a debrief of what I thought of each of the two wings I used.  The only negative I found with these wings is the lack of a "starting" grunt.  It takes the whole bag of tricks to get the foil to come up to speed - but in all other respects, this is a great wing.

I took the blue "V2" home to test that one as well.
