Definitely either Formula of foiling weather - very light noreaster, stronger on the western side of the lake at Kanahooka.  

Not surprisingly, encountered a couple of the new breed of foilers - Bushy and co.  Really cool watching them get around.  Huge pointing ability even in light wind and they popped on the foil much earlier that I was able to get on the plane.  Pulling off a gybe on the foil seems like a black art....Well done boys.

Kanahooka, NSW, AU NE up to 14 knots

FOIL

Got the message from "long service leave" Chris that the wind was good so drove to KH and got onto the water late arvo. The wind had dropped to "patchy" but was still able to get a few nice runs. After about an hour the wind freshened a bit making for a fun gybing practice session. Spent a fair bit of time in the water - starting to push it a bit!Cool

Always good to foil with Chris. Nice to see Eckers out on the big kitSmile.

Hi Glen, saw two red sails and a clear one from home, looked good from afar, going great in a light NE.

Kanahooka could be the go this week with the really low tides most of the day. Thanks for seeing Darren.
