Foil Drive - Parawing Augmented Session - 8/19/2025

Following Norm's lead, today I brought out the Foil Drive, and brought along a parawing.

Wind was way up and down.  When it was up - it was easily parawingable.  When it was down it was almost glassy.

Super high tide made for easy launch and recovery.


No.40 with the standard Foil Drive setup.

And in the stash pouch is the BRM Ka'a 3.6 (first outing)

I had intended to take out the Ka'a 4.8 but I grabbed the wrong bag


In the end it didn't really matter.  My first wave I caught I reached in and deployed the parawing and it opened.  I was going along for a little bit and then lost power in the wing and came off foil.

That's when I noticed I was on a smaller parawing.

I did the same thing multiple times after, but they all got progressively worse


I did ride some waves without messing with the PW, and those were really fun.


16 rides - can't complain about that.



Koa was out also - and there was another Foil Drive-r guy who we haven't met before.

Good introduction session for the FD-PW combo.

W:56/FD:104/PW:24/S:6
