Wing Foiling Session - 6/25/2023

Lots of wingers out today at Hickam -

Wind was up and down (surpisingly).

I wanted to have a different experience today, so I setup the Triton X-1.  The Stringy adapter worked perfectly!!!  I'm going to need to shape a new board and place the boxes further forward (I had the mast pegged all the way forward and it felt like it could use more lift still).

I thought it was going to be nuking - so much so I didn't even bring the 5.2

The X-1 definitely makes sure you are awake and paying attention.

Today was definitely a mellow day - when the wind backed off, I ended up just waiting for the next gust.

Though if I knew the wind was going to be this up and down, I would have bolted on the Eagle 1090.

Quick session - but got what I was looking for!!!

W:60/F:57/S:28

New (Used)Triton T1

The proceeds I got from selling No.28 got turned around immediately to purchase this new foil - the Triton T1 Monofoil.  I got a really go deal on this as it was a demo.  There were a few scratches - but nothing that some 400 and 600 grit wet dry sandpaper couldn't take care of.

I dissembled the mast base plate - mast, then placed ultra tefgel on the bolts.  The plate-mast is a really tight fit (which I prefer over a looser fit - less chance of a shift under load).

And as one would expect, as soon as I get this in the wind dies... It'll be several days before the wind comes up strong enough to test this foil out.  Patience in effect -
