Nice conditions this morning on the dawn patrol.
Super light wind (at least to start with). Mid tide (so paddling out was not too bad). And there were still some really fun waves coming through.
I realized last night that I hadn't gone out to get some more duct tape - which means I really couldn't take out No.41. So I figured I'd mix things up a bit - No.34 with the AFS HA Ultra 750 with the Glide 41 rear stabilizer (set in the rear position).
I made an initial guess on the mast position - and after each of my first three waves, I made an adjustment and got the setup dialed in. There is just a hint of front foot pressure - but without it the foil tended to drop out.
No surprise - just like when I've winged with this foil there is a ton of glide. No real work is needed to extract the glide - especially from a tuned setup - just occasional pulse or tap.
After I got the foil dialed in, the wind picked up and it was strong. The erst of the session was spent wondering if I could get on foil with a parawing.
Lots of curves on the tracks - that's me surfing this foil!
I'm gonna call this 13 rides. I know I missed a few, not innately knowing how this foil would behave.
This foil definitely occupies a different space than the Silk 650 and the Enduro 700. I'm going to continue using this foil while Foil Drive-ing in the immediate future.
