Dawn Patrol - 3/2/2025

This morning was way better than yesterday. Waves were about waist to chest high (only occasionally).  The north wind made it a tad chilly and even a bit of work to stay on the running swell.

A higher tide made for an easier launch. 


Same gear, but switched back to No.40 - it's just too easy to use this board.


Fun session today.


With the slightly increased size, carving was easier with more sections to push off of.

I also mixed in efoiling to get back out and to slingshot onto waves.  I would cut it short when my right knee started to get tired.

And 3/4 of the way into the session I checked the nuts that hold the mast onto the Foil Drive unit and one of the four was loose.  I kept riding, but checked and hand tightened the bolt after each ride.


Dennis, Andrew, Dean, Prayot, Shari, John, and Marvin were all out.

Amidst all the action I was able to pick up 21 rides - and most were pretty long coming from all the way outside to the beginning of the inside (and then motoring back out).


Perhaps I need to start carrying a wrench...
