Evening Foil Drive Session - 9/26/2025

I got home from work and the onshore winds were blowing again.  I sat down on the couch and ended up taking a small nap.

Then I texted the crew and only Roland rogered up.  He said the conditions were better than yesterday - less wind and more surf.

So I loaded up the truck and headed to the beach.


Same setup as the previous session, but I moved the mast back a notch to get the edge off the initial takeoff - it's pretty good now (and actually could probably come back a half notch or so, or I could cutback on the boost).


No.39 still impresses upon me that it is a high performance board.  Being narrower than my usual boards, turning input is much less than normal and foot placement is pretty critical.


Roland and I pretty much were just trading waves on the second reef.  The swell was showing, but it'll probably be bigger tomorrow.  The waves would fade pretty quickly - but some gems would roll through and let you ride them for a good distance.  And lots of carving!


19 rides in an hour - ridiculous!!!!



Tomorrow I think I'm going to use the Silk 850
