And as forecasted, the wind has left us. Well not exactly - when the trades slack, the thermals become the dominant factor. Then all bets are off. Depending on how the land heats up, you get different results. When I got to the beach today the wind was light and from the west. Then it was calm for a bit. Then by the time I was headed in, it was light trades. Doesn't matter - I was Foil Drive-ing
There were some fun waves! But they were spaced out a bit.
And probably better for me to have some time between rides. I'm still nursing my right knee from taking too much pressure. And I also setup No.39 -
I bolted on the Enduro 900 and used the wing screws in case I needed to make adjustments in foil position.
It has been a while since I've used No.39 and I've been thinking it may be time to try it out for parawinging in stronger wind conditions. To get used to it, I set it up for today's session
This board is all business and no slack. Definitely the highest performing board in my quiver.
I had several waves where I was cranking turns back and forth and this board/foil was eating it up!
15 rides in an hour - and the waves were lully - ridiculous (thanks Foil Drive!!!)
I'm going to stick with No.39 for the next several sessions
Today felt like the first day of Fall - a little cooler and the sunlight was coming in at a lower angle. This year was not particularly fruitful regarding strong wind days or endless runs of south swell - but it did offer conditions that helped me develop my parawinging skills and super fun Foil Drive-ing.
