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 -
W:19/FD:39/PW:1/S:3
