Dawn Patrol - 11/3/2024

I decided to Foil Drive this morning at WPB - Marlon indicated he was excited to use the Takuma foils  so I changed plans (Hickam).

There were fun sized waves still coming through.  Dean and Noel were out - 

I believe this is No.18 that Marlon is riding - and he was out on the Takuma Kujira 1210 (haven't said that in a minute...) 

I had the same gear out - I really love this setup (and the Spitfire 900 when it gets bigger).  No.34 just works so well to get up quick.  And it still turns super hard without touching - what more could you ask for?

I actually burned through half my battery in 30 minutes - the waves were that good (for Foil Drive-ing - the poor longboarders were just sitting around and fighting for the scraps_.

So many carves.... so much fun!!!!

I even got a few double dips buried in the track somewhere.

17 waves in the first hour - ridiculous!!!!  20 overall for today - no room for complaint.

Marlon said he caught several, and he was even starting to make turns!

And today was the first day winging/foiling didn't tax me (no blood drawn, no smashed foil, no torn wing - even keel today).  I like to think it might have been the plastic bag I picked up and put in the trash.  Whatever the factor - I'm glad I didn't have to pay today (for once).
