Parawing Session - 9/15/2025

There were good signs of decent wind on the way home.  When I got to the beach it looked light and the wind line was a bit further offshore.

Low waves.  Mid tide.


These guys were chillaxing on the beach.


I didn't want to struggle today, so I brought the big one -


When the wind was gusting, getting up wasn't bad.  You really just had to wait for the right conditions.  But I am reconfirming that this board is not as easy to start as No.34


Lots of north in the wind - that explains the look of the surface.  Once I adjusted for the direction, the session flowed.  I didn't try any tacks today - I didn't want to have to relaunch more than I had too.  Focused instead on getting the PW to turn better during the jibes.  Line tension is everything.


I needed the gusts to get up, but after the winds were enough to fly the PW with one hand.  I did hook in as much as I could to reduce the pressure on my golfer's elbows.


The charts correlate -


Prayot was out with his F One Frigate 4.7 and making runs.

There was a third parawinger out - blue Ozone Pocket Rocket.  And I think they had a Foil Drive bolted on also.

The wind is supposed to start getting stronger again -

W:56/FD:115/PW:34/S:8
