Evening Foil Drive-ing - 1/9/2025

And I pulled a second session today - this time with Norm out at the Bunkers area.


I put the foil setup I used earlier on to No.34


This board comes up to speed so quickly - so dependable!!!


This was the first time I went out in this area.  Norm lead the way, but when he flipped the board over and way pulling the trigger - he got no response from the Foil Drive.

I had motored out and wasn't quite sure where I could safety takeoff - I caught one and headed back over to where Norm was.  We tried a few things, but he still had a dead stick.


He told me to head out and burn through my battery - I told him I'd catch three proper ones and head back.

The point over to the left is where Norm was.

And you can see where I had gradually worked my way out to.  The set waves were actually chest high!


You can see the three solid waves I caught.

When we were back on land, I asked if I actually made it out to Bunkers - Norm said no, that I was riding Jetty's.

Back at his truck, we got the battery out, and back in - and the drive worked again.  Then I asked what his normal process is - he bypassed the unlocking and it would throw him into a programming sequence.  Problem solved!

The reports are showing trades returning tomorrow...
