Foil Drive convention today at WP - Eli on his Tow Boogie; Norm, Stu, Roland and I on Foil Drive Max.
The waves were definitely bigger than the previous days - mainly because of the SE winds. But that also made the water pretty choppy.
No.34, AFS 80cm UHM mast, Enduro 900 and the Mako Carve 130 rear stabilizer.
This is a pretty small stabilizer. Not knowing what this rear stabilizer was going to do, I placed it in the rear position and only used a +0.25 degree shim.
My first few rides were pitchy. But as I got more time underfoot, this just became faster and more maneuverable.
This is going to be a fun addition to the quiver of foil setup choices.
Norm was on the Code 980S he recently got from Kalani - and he was ripping - even in the choppy surf. Stu was having trouble in the chop. Eli and Roland were hanging further inside to avoid the chop (but were closer to the surfing crowd).
I had some really short rides (because the swell wouldn't stand up), and some really long rides. With the Mako Carve, the turns were more fun than with the HA40.
Tomorrow I am going to move it up to the short position.
17 rides - pretty darn fun!
The wind is supposed to start making a comeback... one can only hope that the forecast materializes
