Parawing Humble Pie - 1/2/2025

And in the afternoon, the wind was blowing through the neighborhood - enough to pique my interest.

I had originally planned on using the Foil Drive again - but I went ahead and brought the parawing and the KT Dragonfly.

It was whitecapping at Pavilions...



Norm setup his winging gear - so I set up the parawing gear.

KT Dragonfly + BRM Maliko 5.1 + AFS Enduro 1300


Here is where the mast/foil balanced out on the board.  I used the shorter 75 cm mast


This was pretty much a humble pie eating session.


There were enough waves coming through that it made staying up on the board challenging.

I did get up once - but again with the waves, I wasn't able to stay on foil long.  But I did get up!


From this I am finding that I need a solid 15mph to get up.  Flatter water would also be nice - until I get the technique down. 


And heading back goofy was an immense challenge.


The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single footstep -

You eat the elephant one bite at a time - 

These and more were bouncing around in my head while I was struggling.
