WP was open this morning.
Waves were a notch smaller today down from yesterday. Zero wind again so the surface was nice and glassy. And a higher tide made for a nonchalant entry.
Same gear as yesterday - but I pulled the mast slightly back to see if I could lessen the front foot pressure/additional lift I was having to deal with.
After cycling this board in the rotation behind No.40, I can say No.39 is the board to use when higher speed is called for. This board doesn't like to schlog - so not a light wind wing board. With sufficient power (larger wing) I can use a smaller foil - or just using the boost on the Foil Drive.
So No.40 is an all-rounder, and No.39 is a higher speed specialist.
The new pulled back mast position definitely is better - the lift is more progressive without losing pumpability on the recycling efforts.
There is a pattern in this pile of red an blue spaghetti. I'd takeoff and head right, carve several turns and then head left (to give the SUP guys a chance to catch the wave), then ride it out.
I got a triple in there somewhere, along with a couple of double dips.
Prayot was out on his Dragonfly and AFS Silk 1090. If the waves were taller, he was catching them. He got a double (at least one that I saw - probably more).
24 rides - slightly lower waves count, but the waves were lully today.
The wind is supposed to come back Tuesday - I may take a break tomorrow to prepare.
