Dawn patrolled Kailua -
Wind was definitely up!
From the beach the waves at Jump City didn't look too big.
Setup the Cabrinha Prestige!
And I wanted to give the Larrabee Stash Belt a try with using a smaller parawing - BRM S3 4.2
Kalani came over to do the dawn patrol also.
Jump City was actually pretty good - all the riding was geared towards riding those waves (triangle course).
I picked up a few just over head waves, but most were chest high. Long rides with the parawing retracted.
Most of the redeployments were drama free (credit to the S3 design).
I did try tacking at the Park buoys - but the wind was gusty and I got it around (but didn't sail out).
This was the MCBH meter - Kailua was higher by about 5mph. For this first outing with the BRM S3 4.2, the wind range tested the low and high ends. There was a lull where I had to wait it out, but for the rest of the session the parawing powered well based on what wind was there.
I did breach three times riding waves - I may have to use the prestige with the Cedrus mast to gain a little more mast height.
You can see where I breached, where the lull was and even the rides (speed spikes) - such a cool way to look at the chart!
Super fun session!!!
Will probably go back tomorrow morning (using the smaller Maliko parawings and the Cedrus mast).
