Decent winds today, relatively smaller waves - another day of good conditions for parawing training.
And to get more time on foil, Norm and I did a downwinder from WP to PV.
The start was kinda slow for me - hard to line up good wind with relatively smooth water for easy takeoff. But eventually I got up and today ended up being long runs up on foil.
And out past Campgrounds, the wind was steadier and I was able to get the longest runs I've had so far with a parawing. Jibes and stance switches throughout.
No.34 was easier to ride in the stronger winds - but I think in the lighter stuff the Dragonfly took off faster.
No.34 was easier to takeoff goofy foot (but it was not easy)
By the end of this session, I was actually getting up on foil pretty quickly.
I can see using a harness in the future (as this starts to become second nature). My arms feel pretty stretched out.
But it was all worth it -
I am going to need to get better at taking off goofy foot - maybe some sessions at Kailua...
