Got in a mid-day session - high tide!!!
There was actually some swell coming through - belly high waves!!!
And the trades came back! All coming together to make for a really fun session!
I used the Dragonfly again - but with the high tide I used the Evolution Cedrus Wind mast. With the nearly 10cm difference in the two masts I've used with this board, I had to reset the mast position - it went back about an inch. Difference in lever length (increase), means you need less force to get the same effect(?) - so less lift needed(???)
Kalani was out the same time I was. Roland came out 30 minutes before I headed in.
This position work perfectly - I didn't have to move the mast one bit.
Initially the wind was on the lighter side - not an issue with the gear I had out. But as the day went on, the wind came up considerably (I could have been on a smaller 4+)
There were a few lulls that I had to wait out - probably the wind still shaking the rust off.
There was a lot of turbulence in the water - I could feel it riding through.
I also had some management challenges trying to beach - the board kept getting away from me and fell in a compromising way (stabilizer and front foil towards the wing/my head). I'm going to have to develop a method to avoid this.
Super fun trades day!!!
