Parawing Session - 8/30/2026

I hit WPB in the late afternoon.

Whitecaps were blowing when I pulled up to the parking lot.

And there were chest high waves breaking!


AFS Silk 1050/152/80cm UHM mast bolted onto No.44

With the whitecaps, I packed the BRM S3 4.2


This was a very good session.

Got up on foil easy and took off on some larger waves - maybe head high and rode those with the parawing retracted.  I think I got three long rides with successful redeploys.

After initially taking off - I stopped and shifted the mast back - the Silk 1050/152 was perfect after that. 


Some waves I just drifted the parawing -  


There were some ups and downs - so I would just wait for the gusts.


Roland came out a lot later.  He had the Foil Drive again.  I needed to go some errands and work around the house, so I caught a gust and a wave, fully stashed the parawing and rode the wave in (with a fair bit of pumping).


There should be similar wind the next few days (before the next Hurricane starts to influence the weather).
