Super light but fun when the breeze dribbled in. Spent some time on the NP ally foil with Fanatic TE Falcon 136 which was amazing but scary. Got in the front strap and planing in nothing with a 6.5 NP Ryde couple times with much pumping. Foil started to lift and I was 20cm out of the water, wow!! Then I went into auto slalom mode and raked sail back, wrong. Board reared up to leeward, then windward as I tried to correct. Stayed with the rig as told and a soft landing/splat. Had a couple of short runs then wind dropped. Quite bizarre, lots to learn!!

Went in, changed to 8.6 and 44 fin. Couple of light gusts and some fun cruisy runs but wind started dying. Got a last gasp gust for a 30.22 so very happy with that on a 136 ltr board and 8.6!!

Falcon TE 136, Ryde 6.5, NP alloy foil, same board with 8.6 RS Slalom Mk 6, Strike 44.
