Parawing Session - 6/4/2026

After work I picked Stu up and we hit Hickam.

The wind would fill in, hang out and then drop off. When it was on, it was nice and strong.


I bolted on the Prestige 905/160


And I took the BRM S3 5.3 out using the Larrabee stash belt/pouch.  There was a little more room in this pouch than I had initially thought.


Today I just wanted to go out and rebuild my confidence - after yesterday, I really didn't feel like taking too many risky challemges.


I mostly practiced my transitions - down loop jibe, regular jibes, and tacks both ways.

I also tried speed run on the inward tack.

Typical Hickam wind - way up.... way down.

I did confine myself to the inside - but I didn't think any less of the exercises I was running.


And when it lulled - it was really light.


Stu did a series of jibes so he checked off an objective.  He did drift downwind at one point - but he picked up a gust and ultimately didn't have to paddle in.  Winner winner, chicken dinner!!!!
