I thought the winds would stronger today - they weren't. Still good wind, just not nuking.
The tide was good and high, and there were still waves coming through.
Same board/foil - but anticipating the stronger winds, I pumped up the Mode Pro 4.8
I also opted to use the Ion/Wingman chest harness.
I forgot my Garmin watch at home so I used Strava on my phone to track the session stats.
I wanted to run to Costco to grab some groceries, so I had a shorter session today. Also with the smaller wing (this 4.8 really behaves more like a 4.2), I didn't want to risk getting caught outside when the wind slacked.
Lots of squiggly lines on the tracks today - which means lots of carving!
The waves were working nicely with the tide - they were standing up and running the distance. Made from really fun rides!!!
I guess looking at this chart you could say the wind was more consistent today (less gusty), but overall it wasn't blowing as hard as it was yesterday.
I got tacks in both sides (in and out) - and ended up recovering from some sloppy inside tacks. So maneuver wise today was pretty good.
Tomorrow is supposed to be nuking - we'll see. That and Donnel has a new Ezzy 5.0 he is asking if I want to test (oh yeah!).
