Parawing Session - 5/1/2026

Looks like two female monk seals pupped at WPB.

Giving them space is key.

Decent wind - more easterly and less gusty (when I went out)

High tide and fun sized swell.


Same stuff as yesterday.


Stu was already out when I parked.  Roland was setting up.  And Norm launched pretty late.


I had some epic rides!

Marlon was flying the drone - I hope he got the ride where I doused and got to ride a good sized wave carving up and down for quite some distance.

Marlon was really out to film Roland (and Stu).

I got in a bunch more tacks today - pretty much flowing with the incoming waves (SO MUCH FUN).


The BRM Maliko 5.1 felt really good today - less rough than yesterday (I'm not sure why - but glad for it).


This peak speed came from the wave ride (so awesome)!


I recently sold the Flysurfer POW 4.0

The POW was really good at "drifting" - following along depowered while riding a wave into the wind.  The Maliko fights me if I douse after transitioning onto the wave.  I'll have to jump back to the 777 Hybrid to see what that does again.

Lighter, but still doable winds over the weekend.
