The forecast changed from what was predicted yesterday (nice steady, strong wind) to super up and down wind. But wingers were assembling (Eddy and Roland, eventually Duke) and there was some wind outside (northerly flow).
The tide was rising to a super high at +2.3' - and although there were waves, it was all manageable.
I opted to continue parawinging - BRM Ka'a 4.8 and the big foil setup (No.34 + AFS Enduro 1300/HA43)
All that matters is I got up on foil three times, and I was able to jibe - progress.
I also feel I am balancing on No.34 better than I ever have.
Even Eddy, Roland and Duke were having issues on conventional wing - so I don't feel too bad.
Kinda explains the lack of being up on foil...
I had contemplated rigging a harness line today, but didn't. The weather forecast calls for a break in the wind, so I may take the time to string the harness hook and install a line for next time.
Once I'm up, as long as the wind is steady (or really above minimum), I can stay up and keep going. Using a harness I think will help with increasing endurance.
The swirly wind and the up/down strength really made today painful. But I did get up and every outing is building the experience base.
Probably Foil Drive-ing tomorrow...
