Windfoil, Foilville

Big Foilfest!

Pushed the boundaries with the wind strength, 17 to 19kn was very solid but 19-22kn was madness for me.

Used the big wing for the first 50km which gave the best hour and alpha and the small wing gave the best 2sec. Managed a 28.5 on the big wing though.

Scored a few foil PBs being Hr, Alpha and Distance so it was an awesome day.

Safety Bay, WA, AU. Tried another hour session to get the body up to speed after a long time off the water. Was nicely lit on the 6.3, but having trouble keeping the board on the water. Felt like I wanted to twist my leading hip towards the water to get in the sweet spot, but it was really hard to stay there. I suspect 22+ was probably just too much wind for the 98 and 75kgs, because it felt like the power was there, but I was having to back it off to survive. Legs were burning!! Enjoying the stoke now though

Another fun, powered-up sesh at Peli.

It was windier than Friday, so I went to rig the 7.6, damn, left my short extension at home   7.6 doesn't rig on the long extension as it fouls the inside of the mast.  I had a choice of 7.0 or 8.4.  Didn't quite look strong enough for the 7, so 8.4 it was.  Man I was lit.

Plugged in the M112 + 38 CL SL2, which was a great combo with the big rag.

I was a bit over-cooked in the gusts (no shit Sherlock), but otherwise I managed to hang on and power through.  Certainly a good strength training session.

New mast, new batten, new universal joint, new friends, old board.  Another great session at Coodanup on the Explosion 120l with a 6.5 V8. 

Huge thanks to Decrepit for getting my GW60 working (you have to tell it to log your sessions!!).  

Had lots of trouble with lower left calf cramps in the first 20 minutes, but they subsided as the breeze filled and we all got good runs in the smoother water.  I wasn't brave enought to go into the weed zones as close as the MM boys but I don't know the venue well enough to practice face plants.

Hoping to do it all again on Wednesday.

Melville Beach, WA, AU

Short and sweet, still not much water over the sandbar so I went with a much smaller fin than I would normally have used for this combo. It worked pretty well!

The Frace just works with any thing I think.

Good to get bthe war stories from the BOZ

A quite session at Melville, not many out caught up with Ricey he was having fun out on the water. Just a cruisy day today chucking figure 8's around the marker bouys inside the bay, ventured out for a quick play past the sand bar with stratfold but was too holey with very few gusts coming through. No bearawys today breaking in the SDM mast on the frankenstein 6.3 KAR, held up well with all the tape holding it together. The SDM sure does make the sail feel differant a more locked in power even though the results don't show it. Will put it to the test probably at Fangys on Wednesday Lunny just seen the numbers bloody awesome result over a ton in distance on the foil superb hr and alpha
