Parawing Session - 1/1/2026

The wind was starting to fill in... and I got out for a second session today!

The waves were even smaller than this morning.  The wind at the beach was not as strong as I thought it would be.  It would gust and fill in nicely - then drop off and stay low.


No.34, AFS UHM 85cm mast, AFS Enduro 1300/HA43 on the short fuselage.  Flysurfer POW 5.0 for the motivator.


It was good to get out for a second session, and one on the wind.


With the ups and downs, I was riding the gusts.

It was pretty hard to get the parawing to turn a few times - ending up getting stripped off the board.


I tried to tack toe side to get around the light wind issue - but that didn't end well.

I tried a heel side tack on the outside.  I did get the parawing and board around, but came down and the wind wasn't enough to get me back up.
 


When the wind was up, this was a really fun session.


We'll see what the weather does over the next week.  Lots of variability...
