Wing Foiling Session - 3/11/2025

Strong winds, high tide, but small waves today.


I wanted to mix things up - Neilpryde Fly 4.0 and the Cabrinha H800.


Big crew today - Eddy, Norm and I were the early shift and Kalani and Roland were the late shift.


The H800 felt a little slow/draggy.  And it was also really pitch sensitive in the choppy conditions.  But in these winds it did get up pretty easily.

Having to learn a different foil, I pulled my punches to avoid having to restart.  Despite all that, I did eat it a lot and had to restart anyways.


Some of the gusts were nuking -


The chop did make for hard riding.  The H800 seemed to respond better to rear foot steering.

And oddly enough - the Fly 4.0 was also responsive to rear hand control.  With the winds blowing around today, the twitchiness of the wing did fatigue me.  The North wings I have been using don't do this - better for my elbows.


Tomorrow is supposed to be even stronger than today -
