The wind that was forecasted to still be here has now been forecasted to dwindle. With that I decided to dawn patrol with the Foil Drive at WPB.
Not that the waves were all that great either, but this option also keeps the drive shorter.
I upsized the front foil to the Spitfire 960 - better for smaller waves compared to the Spitfire 900.
I am now convinced that No.34 is one of the most versatile shapes I've made so far. I can see myself parawinging this (in addition to winging and Foil Drive-ing).
The session was good (any time on the water is good) - but the higher tide that made launching/landing easier also made for choppy/bumpy rides and almost drowned out what little surf was coming in.
I actually only had a handful of good rides - the rest were attempts to catch really fat waves, or I'd get bucked off by incidental chop.
The wider the blue lines, the better the ride was.
And on one wipeout, the board came back at me and I got a good cut on my right calf. Definitely could have been worse.
And to top everything off, the Wizardhat bolts came loose on the front - I called the session after that.
Too many issues... I quit while I was ahead.
