Foil Drive 1st Session - 6/13/2026

With the King Tides this week, dawn patrolling WP meant a long shallow paddle out to wher you could flip the foil over without grounding.  I figured that was enough reason to do the dawn patrol at Hickam.


I swapped the boards this morning - from No.43 to No.40 - I wanted the extra waterline to make getting in and out a bit easier.

And I opted for the AFS Silk 850 v1) and the USurf 135 rear stabilizer


There were waves - but the good ones were separated by a good wait.


The bigger ones were a ton of fun.

Both peaks at Firsts were breaking with the really low tide.  And the inside bowl by the channel was awesome for getting in roundhouse carves.


15 solid rides, with only a couple missed.

There was less drag on this system.  And towards the end of the session I was feeling the boost differential again.



Went in for a battery change.
