JP Hydroloil 135L, NP Fusion 6.7m, NP Flight AL

Missed out all the fun this week with work and chasing around for my mum so caught the tail, tail end of it this arvy.

Wow it was GAF tonight which made for some interesting flights, mostly unhooked.

Got a couple of bad dents tonight, fortunately not in the board this time but in the top of my skull from the nads travelling north quickly to get away from the cold water.

Lots of fun but the cold got to me in the end.

Woo hoo.

Vid to follow.

Was quite gusty, spent a lot of the time on the foil sailing out of the harness

Well done Mate! Keep at it you will get there:) Just try and keep all the movements of the rig and body position as subtle as possible When your in the air. There is far more feel required for foiling than there is for conventional sailing. But the rewards when it eventually clicks will be worth the effort!

Nice one Elmo Cool Where the board lurches to windward is that where the foil gets too much lift & breaks the surface?

G'day Morts, yep something like that.

Realistically the issue is PEBBAB (problem exists between boom and board) and I'm a muppet who dosen't understand "small" movements

Still lots of fun, if anything comes out of the whole foiling thingumajiggy, it will be that I finally get my fat arse used to pumping a sail and start to learn to use a bit of finesse like Hardz and Decrep rather than my usual brute force ad ignorance approach to sailing.
