Evening Session - 5/5/2022

Another evening session spent surfing - Marlon and I brought the same gear as yesterday.  The conditions were nearly identical - except the wind seemed stronger.


I caught three really good waves.  And had a bunch of full spread eagle epic wipeouts.  The single fin with all the turbulence had a hard time keeping hold (not to mention some of the takeoffs were full on pitching) - ergo the wipeout.


It's been a while since we've had waves this big for this long an extended period.  I'll take it!

Sunday Evening Foiling - June 23, 2019

Marlon and I hit the beach in the evening.  Jimmy met us out there and was filming with his drone.  I grabbed this screen shot from the video file he sent. 



I thought the swell would be smaller so I setup the Maliko 200.  Way too much lift for the swell that was there (belly high again).  I had some epic wipeouts - one even knocking the wind out of me.  But I did get three really long rides.


Even with the foil jammed all the way back, this wing makes a ton of lift and makes it challenging to control.  This wing is off the surfing list and will only be used for windfoiling now.  

Marlon was catching waves 3 to 1 compared to me.  Here is a picture from the video Jimmy took.


Fun session (and always great to have a photographer out)!!!
