The wind was forecasted to come up today - but only to marginal conditions for winging. Which was fine for me as I have been wanting to get the AFS Enduro 1300 and the KT Dragonfly together in preparation for parawinging.
Hickam has long been my testing grounds for getting equipment setup -
And here is the setup I've been waiting for (so I can begin my parawing journey).
This is where the foil balanced out with the board initially. I eventually moved it forward to get a tiny bit more front foot pressure - but it's all settled now.
The winds were really light - and the Nova Pro worked perfectly!
This was a good session to get this equipment dialed in. There were lots of holes, and I got to pump through a few of them, but several didn't have to push to keep me above the Enduro 1300's stall speed.
Still lots of North in the wind. I stuck with jibes mostly just to make sure I didn't come off foil - but I did get in a few heel-to-toe tacks.
Not ideal by a long shot - but it was good to know I can go in this level of light wind.
You can see the correlation pretty well between the run and the reported wind speeds.
Now I can bring this set of equipment out to parawing -
W:154/PW:2/FD:102/F:5/S:29
