FOIL

A challenging foil in the afternoon. The gusty winds came in soon after I left the shore - pretty much overdone with my sail choice(!) but still good practice in these conditions. Focused on planing/foiling upwind in the strongest gusts - quite controllable. Also continued the focus on gybing.

When I threw in the towel and foiled back to shore the gusts started to peter out! I think I was lucky?

Pretty miserable drift around Primbee after a promising mid afternoon puff of nor-wester enticed me down.  10 mins planing on the 104 Falcon, a few more minutes planing on the F158 Freeformula, but otherwise a drifter.  Gaastra Matrix 7.5.

Nice one Bushy - was watching you from over at Primbee.  Stu - were you out foiling as well, after Bushy, launching from somewhere down near Oak Flats with a mainly red sail?
