Cleaner (but still a bit choppy) conditions this morning compared to yesterday evening.
Nice super high tide to make launch and recovery pretty easy.
There was some swell pushing in - but this is likely the wind swell from the SE.
Same gear as yesterday - wanting to continue developing a feel for the small rear stabilizer.
The system seemed less pitchy (but it was probably just as pitchy and I was getting used to it). It felt like I could turn harder (smaller stabilizer has less drag and resistance to directional changes - when the waves have sufficient energy, I should try to use it in the forward mounting position).
Full house today - Dennis, Roland, Stu and another guy using Armstrong foils were out on FD; Noel and Andrew were on SUP foil; and I saw Ben out on prone (and maybe Scott).
With the high tide, I launched and landed close in. The tide was focusing the takeoff spot (shallower pinnacle).
The wave size did come down from yesterday, but periodically good sets rolled through.
I did get a few double dips - 22 rides in total.
Fun session!!!
