Morning Foil Drive-ing - 1/9/2025

La signed up for sailing lessons and this morning she had her first session.  Noe had a dentist appointment this morning, so I took La over to Hickam....

And since I was there, I figured I could try out Marvin's latest Majek foilboard.

This is the board I put three windows on.  He said when he used it, connectivity was tricky (when the board went underwater).


There was a gaggle at the boat ramp when I got there - Bill (who had been out twice already testing the AFS and comparing it to the Code), Mark and Arvin on SUP foils, Mark's wife on the Foil Drive and Jesse on tow boogie.


Marvin's board is shorter and wider than the boards I've been using lately - so the battery consumption was higher.  But when I got it up on foil, it was really fun to lean into and crank turns.


I got four proper waves - it was tiny and as the session went on it continued to get smaller.


Marvin wants another window put into it to help improve the connectivity - I think it should go in on the top, near the nose.  I'll get it installed and take the board back out for a spin.
