Foil Drive Dawn Patrol - 10/31/2026

350kJ on the Surfline forecast.  2.5' high tide.

And no wind -


With the larger surf and the weekend crowd, I figured it would be best to Foil Drive.

And knowing the full tide would somewhat dampen the intensity of the surf, I figured I'd try something different - the HA Ultra 750/UGlide 41


I couldn't remember if the forward most marks were for the Ultra 750, or if I had worked out that the Silk 850 and the Ultra 750 shared the same mounting point.

I started out using the forward marks - but after the first few waves I brought it back in the slots (to the Silk 850 marks).  I could more easily control the foil after the adjustment. 


I kept moving to the right towards 5-O's

The waves were heavier out there and the chop that was on the inside cleaned up nicely.

The waves were well overhead - I had some really challenging rides (adjusting to the nuances of the Ultra 750)


16 rides and no getting smashed - good score!

Not sure I hit 29.5mph....
