AlfaMale (18459km):
2259 days ago Good fun at Kyeemagh today. I got there too late to practice foiling... cest la vive!
iSonic 90L was a good choice, so was the TRXi 7.0 and 36cm fin...
The planes were too easy to beat down the runway, but as usual beat me heading north... :(
It's rare for me to crank a 20+ knot gybe on the small board, but glad I did. A few felt pretty quick, but perhaps had too wide an arc (such as the NM run!). Some laydowns near the beach, just so everyone could get a good view of my seat harness.
Actually, speaking of gybes, my foiling experience has actually helped my slalom gybes, because the foil is sooooooo sensitive to mast/sail position, fore/aft and lee/windward, I used some of the new foiling experience to help keep the small board level during different phases of the gybe, helping to keep me planing a few times rather than end the gybe too slowly and slog away. Sweet !
I had a few good runs, finally keeping up with Dunoyer... Serge, not Remi!
Good to sail with all the regulars, and Sean, Mari, etc.
Called it quits when my harness line broke
