And in the afternoon, since I was in the area anyways - I hit Hickam to see if I could get in a parawing session.
There was just enough wind -
Big stuff day.
And I decided to try and tackle the heelside tack.
After I got one in slow motion, it unlocked this transition, and I threw multiple ones.
I said slow motion because that's the approach I took - if I do the move deliberately and methodical, I should be able to identify any issues and incrementally work my way through the tack.
The slow and steady approach worked - but on the first try.
I'm going to keep on repeating this so it becomes second nature and I can execute it spontaneously.
When I'm there - I want to use this to get onto waves.
Lots of north in the wind.
There were some significant lulls.
But when I was up on foil - the drills today made for good fun.
There is some good correlation between the graphs.
Oddly enough it seems like the toe-side tack is going to be the last essential transition that I learn (same thing happened with inflatable wings).
