Evening Foil Drive Session - 4/28/2026

I'm feeling a lot better.  And looking at the weather forecast, there is likely to be a week of good winds coming up.

I had a fully charged battery that needed to be brought down to storage levels.

When I got to the beach, it was about as flat as you can get without it being completely flat.

If you waited a bit, there were ridable waves.

Nice high tide.

And for once a decently high tide.


Everything the same as last time - I had the FD system already built up.


It took me an hour to get the battery down below 50%

And I had to do a bunch of things I normally wouldn't do - like donuts, a bunch of efoiling and heavy throttle motoring to get it there.


A few of the rides were actually fun - walls and bowls to carve up.


17 or so rides, with a few missed waves or wipes at takeoff.



There were a few periods where the wind did seem strong enough to parawing (for sure wing).  I had thought about going in and getting the BRM Maliko 5.1 and seeing if I could deploy it and use PW pull only.  But then I remembered that wind was not steady and I'd be out longer than I needed to be to get the battery to storage levels.

Something to try another day.
