Today was forecasted to be the strongest day of this ongoing wind event. I figured I'd avoid the low tide challenges at White Plains and hit the other winging community I haven't seen in a bit - Kailua.
The wind did not disappoint - it was nuking!!!
I decided to follow the pattern from yesterday and pumped up the Reedin SW2 4.2 and setup the SK8 750/C161W on No.34
I also gave Kalani the Reedin SW2 5.2 and 4.7 so he can get back on the water (as I'm not using those wings anymore since I have the Norths).
This session was EPIC!!!
Well overhead waves at Jump City - super strong winds (knocking me off the board at times) - long rides - can't really ask for more!
Looks like the winds were straight from the east.
Lots of people out - Mark, Donnel, Rex, Sonja, Erik - it was fun to ride with other people you know.
There's that squall that blew through and knocked me off the board!
The more I use the SK8 750, the more I really appreciate it. I'm going to have to sand the C161W rear stabilizer - it is making some vortex based noise.
And then it got crowded - way crowded. This is why I only dawn patrol here.
There will still be some wind for the next couple of days, but I am eager to get work done on the projects in the garage and to get rested for the upcoming Foil Drive-ing sessions.
