I had two rest days in a row - today was a get out and get some foil positions down on No.43 day
The waves were generally small, but they were supposed to pick up a bit and the tide was coming up - so generally a favorable forecast.
These three were basking - we don't usually get three this close in proximity.
No.43 with the AFS 75cm UHM mast (freshly modified), Modular Silk 1050/Silk 142 mounted on the standard Fuselink fuselage.
With the waves on the small side, prone foiling was even harder than it is normally. And it didn't help I was trying to be extra cautious with the new foil.
After a long wait and many failed takeoffs, I finally caught one and got up to ride. The Silk 1050 is amazing!!! Turns super hard, pumps through flat spots and is uber maneuverable.
On this wave the system felt like it could use more raw lift. I moved the foil forward and tried again.
The second wave I caught felt way better -
The pressure felt balanced front and back, and the turns were even easier to make.
Both waves were decently long, but with low wave energy, I had zero chance of pumping back out.
Prone foiling is no joke - I'll mix this in more to regain my proficiency.
