Hit Hickam today.
Norm was headed there after work, and I wanted to work on tacks so I headed over.
Matt, Naomi and Zach were there winging. Matt said it was good and so were the waves.
I mixed things up setting up the AFS Silk 1050 and UHM 80cm mast since I got a new rear stabilizer -
New to me AFS USurf 150
The wind was up and down, and even trended towards super light. This session was basically riding gusts.
Just getting up was a stroke of luck - wind had a lot of north in it.
Lots of light wind jibes - a few of them ended up with lines tangled on my hand holding the bar.
And I did get in multiple tacks (including a super light wind one).
I did down loop jibes on both sides.
I'd say I accomplished what I set out to do this afternoon.
Up and down
Up and down
Wind is forecasted to stick around until Wednesday - I may try Kailua tomorrow morning to see if going DDW will facilitate retracting the PPC Orbit...
