Second Session from the Beach

I noted that Marlon came to the beach since we were going to hit the grocery store after I went winging.  Well, he took some pictures and here are a few.

You can see how light the wind was in comparison to pictures from the first session.  This wing has a really good range.

Friday Evening Foiling - July 19, 2019

Washing away the week (it was a busy one - but that seems to be the m=norm now).  The swell from earlier in the week had pushed through so thigh high waves were on tap.  The full moon was still gibbous, but it was waning - the tide was high at +2.0'.  I figured I'd be better off using the 5'6" foilboard and the Slingshot FSurf (Infinity 76).

I set the foil where I had last set it on this board (it's been a while since I last used it - in fact I thought I would never use it again but though the past several sessions and yesterday's rides, this board is great for catching smaller waves - the tanker of prone foiling).  I think pushing it just a hair more forward would have been perfect.  Of note, I also installed the Wizardhat Hardware.  It made setup a little bit easier that the conventional M8 25mm bolts and brass T nuts.

I caught a bunch of waves - some were really long rides with more gliding than pumping.  Made me feel like I know what I'm doing (even though I do know what I'm doing, some sessions of late have made me feel like I'm a beginner again).

Marlon came out and took pictures with the GoPro.  Let the weekend begin!!!

Saturday Evening Surf - 2/2/19

It has been several days since Marlon and I have gone surfing so we made a point to break that streak.  The winds have been way up so our assumption has been blown out surf.  Well - the winds finally backed down a bit yesterday evening, so we gave it a try.

All of these pictures are from Marlon.  The swell was waist high and decently consistent.

There was also a smaller monk seal basking in the beach.

Marlon likes taking pictures of sunsets.

It is always good to get wet - even if the surf is small.
