The wind looked promising - but I opted for the safer bet (Foil Drive). Originally Stu was asking if I wanted to go to Kailua (nope, the traffic back would suck). Then Norm and I were gonna do the WP-PV run on parawing. But the wind was already breaking down.
So Foil Drive it is!
And Roland was anointing his new Foil Drive board! Amundson 4'1"
I setup the Whippit 850/Union 180 Rear Stab/Apex 78cm mast all bolted on to No.40
This setup flows through the water smoother and turns like a greased pig.
The wind was side-off shore so the waves were relatively clean. It looked to be doable for parawing, but Foil Drive-ing was a blast! Top speed almost 22mph!
The swell was still pushing through - nice rides to be had and you didn't have to wait too long. The runs to the right of the takeoff spot had peak bashes galore -
While the runs to the left had super long walls.
16 rides - the Whippit is fun!!!
Tomorrow I'll set up the AFS Silk 850/USurf 135...
Another direct back to back comparison!
