Pinnaroo Point, WA, AU

Unexpected seabreeze today, so I missioned up to Pinnaroo point for a sesh.

When I arrived around 4 it was surprisingly windy, around 18-20K.  New gear froth prevailed, so I initially pulled up my new 8.6 Mach 2 + M137 looking forward to a powered-up slap on the big kit.  Forgot my SDM extension, Doh!

So back to foiling options with my RDM mast/extension...rigged the 6.5 Turbo + L150 with the 65 wing.

Headed down the beach and the wind was gone Yell

Looked around 10-12K, so I decided to have a crack with a demo Infinity 99 wing I've got on loan from Jesper.  Managed a few flights, but then it dropped to 6-8K and I dogged in.  Set-up felt a bit draggy, so I moved the foil all the way forward for max lift.  Headed back out around 5:30 cos it looked like it had freshened a little.

Last half hour was mint.  Started to get the big wing dialed and had some lovely twilight fly time Smile

Still felt a bit back foot heavy, so the jury is still out on the 99, maybe need another sesh before I make the call, but it was nice to be out foiling in such light conditions Cool
