Dawn patrol - super high tide. When I got to the beach there was overtopping (and it was still overtopping when I left 2 hours later).
There were waves, but they weren't breaking because of the full tide. And a lot of the energy was reflecting back out to sea.
I rigged the same gear as yesterday to glide across the flat spots - the Enduro 900 is the sweet spot for me weight - performance wise.
I also brought out No.39 - conceptually moving faster across the water will result in efficiency of battery usage and engaging the foil faster.
Efficiency wise, I came in after two hours and I still had 40% battery.
Dennis was out. So was the Lift eFoiler. Mark and Andrew were out and over at 5-O's. Noel was catching on his SUP foil. And Roland eventually came out (just got back from a trip).
I stayed out in front of Cabins predominantly. And I would wait for the peaks to show at the outside breaks.
Almost all the rides were on running bumps. I only had one wave with whitewater (and that one was a blast!).
20 rides - half of them were super long from the outside all the way in (deep water - no issues with bottom strikes).
Thermals kicked in nicely today - but I abstained. La's parents are here and she had to work - I didn't want them to have to stay at home the whole day so I ran errands with them.
I'll likely Foil Drive again tomorrow morning - the swell is supposed to pick up a notch. We'll see if the thermals pop again.
