Foil Drive Dawn Patrol - 5/18/2025

I went back to Hickam this morning - first to get Bill his boards and stuff, second to Foil Drive at Firsts

There was more wind than yesterday - and all my gear was in good working order today.


Same gear as normal.  I went out first on the regular Max Power battery


I headed out low and slow.  I was at 92% when I got to the break.


I had the break all to myself for 40 minutes before Jesse and Bill arrived.  There were some head high sets coming through and the tide was low enough to make the waves stand up a bit before breaking - perfect conditions for hooking turns before the breaking section!!!

SO MUCH FUN!!!


12 rides by both counting methods



Then I went in to swap batteries - here's the stats on the HO battery


Since this was my second run and I didn't have all day, I figured I would try out efoiling to the break.  The wind was to my back so that helped.  I got to the break and hooked into a small wave - after I wiped out I checked the battery consumption - 95%.  This definitely was quicker and more efficient - I might have to look into this more (and set up the 20cm cable)


Tons of great runs with banked turns and carves galore!

14 rides by both methods.



I think after today I'm going to list the bigger F One foils and stabilizers for sale... the Enduro 900 replaced all of them -
