Yet another day of weird wind - if you looked at the water's surface, you would have thought a 4.5 would have been perfect. But that was an illusion and the direction was shifting a lot.
There were waves at Seconds and the tide was favorable for not hitting stuff underwater.
I brought several boards (to give Miles a chance to figure out what he is looking for in a board) - I used No.40
I wanted to test out the positioning for the AFS Silk 650/HA38
And to compensate for the small foil, I pumped up the North Mode Pro 5.5
As I took out two foils - I put the wind chart up first to cover both
The issue with the first session was the lack of wind. Yes - lack of wind.
Long blue line - most of the session I was just drifting.
Eventually the wind came back at a level I could get the Silk 650 up.
This foil does not have the weird hesitancy that I was experiencing with the F One SK8 750 - but I do need some wind to get this foil going.
While up - I figured I should just get back in. I did go down on the way back - but I was lucky to have enough wind to get back up.
Once back on shore, the wind seemed to straighten out. And everyone was headed out - Mark, Harris and others. I went back to the truck and swapped out the foil and adjusted the mast.
The AFS HA Ultra 750/HA38 was bolted on!
With the wind straightening out, the Ultra 750 was spot on!
When I got out to the surf - I ended up spending most of the time at Seconds. It was breaking harder than Firsts and only Zach was out (and he was windsurfing).
Overhead breaking surf! Not as big as 2 days ago but still super fun!
The wind was still a little shifty - but I could pump through with the Ultra 750
The big gap was when I went down on the inside of Seconds - I didn't want to try and takeoff over the reef so I paddled back into the channel.
Super fun session!
