The wind was up this morning. Way up, then way down - hard to pick which size parawing.
This guy was still chilling on the beach (there were 3 on the beach on Friday afternoon).
The waves were small and the tide was at a medium depth.
No.34 with the 80cm UHM mast and the Enduro 1300/HA43
I don't think this graph is entirely correct - seemed way stronger
Based on what was blowing when I pulled up, I initially put up the Flysurfer POW 5.0
But got quickly overpowered in a pretty epic gust.
After the gust pulled through, I considered staying out on the POW 5.0 - but figured since I brought other PWs, might as well try something else.
Kalani was there and he put up his Triple 7 PT Skin 7.3 - he went in at the same time to size down.
Lots of north in the wind.
Pretty short stint out - so I'm not counting this as a separate session.
I debated which wing to bring out - and decided to pack two. I packed the Maliko 5.1 and the Maliko 4.0. I used a dry bag that I got from Marlon and I could have packed the Maliko 2.9 in there also.
I squished the excess air out and the bag was pretty streamlined.
The only downside was I couldn't stash the wing I was using completely away.
I started out with the Maliko 5.1 - and was fine until one of those nuking gusts ripped through.
I switched to the Maliko 4.0 and that stayed up the rest of the session.
That was the swap out at 20 minutes in.
The 4.0 was so nice to fly -
There were a few waves where I was able to retract the PW and ride - but the waves were pretty small outside of those few instances.
Towards the end there was another knock down gust and I figured I should call it quits before I got hurt.
EPIC session!!!!
