The wind was blowing at the house when I got home. Based on that, and the forecasted rise in wave size - I figured it would be a great day for winging!
At the beach, the wind did not seem as strong as the moving trees suggested. This was largely due to the north wind component. You could see the white caps outside - just means a long paddle to the wind line.
Roland was already there and almost set up when I arrived.
I had great expectations from the waves - so on went the Silk 850/HA40 - did not disappoint!
It was a really fun session - the wind was there when you needed it, and from a direction that made riding while luffing super easy.
You can see the north in the wind from the tracks below
The iwindsurf wind graphs were not available - below is the best I could do for archival data.
Mostly up on foil today!
Norm and Stu eventually came out - they were doing downwinders to PV. Norm was on his Foil Drive (and again with the north wind, he had some really decent conditions).
Tacks abound today! Mahalo to Roland for taking pictures
