I was contemplating using the Foil Drive this afternoon, but Norm couldn't go today. Then Prayot texted that there was wind and he was launching.
I packed the light wind gear (not the uber light wind though...)
No.34/North Nova Pro 5.0/F One Eagle 1090/DW210/ Project Cedrus Carbon 85cm mast
These two were chillaxing on the beach (and they've been doing that for a bit now - nice to know they trust this area and the people around them; not sure I do...)
Most of the session was just floating around. While I was driving up, I saw Prayot up on foil, and he was buzzing around while I was setting up.
As soon as I got out to deep enough water, the wind just died.
I spent a bunch of time floating and thinking I didn't want to have to swim in (like Harris did on Sunday). But as I was a bit too optimistic with the gear selection for today, the possibility of having to swim in was real.
Eventually I picked up a gust while pointing towards shore, and I was able to jibe multiple times to get back to the launch point.
I think if I brought out the uber light wind stuff, I could have been up more. I'm just glad I didn't have to swim back!!!
And when I was up, I was doing a good job of moving at a decent clip.
I may wait for the return of solid wind (next Tuesday) before trying to wing again.
