Waves were smaller today - size where I'd normal bring out the AFS Enduro 900, but today was a testing day.
Second run of the Cabrinha Whippit 850 on Foil Drive.
I swapped out the Tweaker rear fuselage/modular 140 rear stabilizer for the Union 160 monobloc.
Everything else was the same from yesterday.
And from the first wave - the rear foot bias was nearly gone (just an ever so slight bit more back foot pressure required - way less than yesterday).
Which means the 140 was too small for my weight and the conditions.
Not bad stats considering I was using the original Max battery.
The Whippit was easier to use today and that made carving ridiculously fun.
The whole system still felt bogged down - I'm still guessing it is the full motor mount.
I missed more today compared to yesterday. Waves that I thought I could catch would run under me and leave me behind.
But I did catch 22 of them.
So the next logical step would be to put the Tweaker back on and start shimming the 140 to see where I gives enough down pressure to replicate the lift generated with the 160 attached.
But if the waves are small again tomorrow, I may just bolt on the AFS Enduro 900.
Prayot was out SUP foiling and Roland was out Foil Drive-ing. Kalani, Stu and Roland went out earlier in the day.
Always fun to test hypothesis!!!
