1218 days ago 1 categories  Captain to Firstmate: You and I will be conducting sea trials today of the new JP ES 150 magnum grey bullet nosed Foil board and a modified Generation 1 Naish Wind Foil. I'll take the new JP ES150 Foil board and you take the moded Wind Foil on your Naish..
Firstmate: Aye Captain.. Will that be All Ahead Full or Half Speed Captain? Captain: Half Speed. Steady til we find our sea legs. Firstmate: Aye Captain, Half Speed it is. Setting Mainsail.
Captain on his first run out of port: Agh! The flippin foil ain't straight!! Archimedes hasn't invented a straight screw that goes into a bent slot yet for this new ES 150 Board. (Ka-blamo. Captain crashes heavily.) Darn it.. That hurt!
Firstmate: (Thought bubble: That looked serious. Hope the Captain is OK?) (Shouting).. Are you alright Captain?
Captain: Yes,,, but will abort this mission, head back to Port and put on a Slapper! Carry-on. Firstmate: Aye Aye Captain. Carrying-on sea trail of Naish Gen1 Moded Foil. All ahead Half Speed. Seems to have made a noticiable improvement Captain. Captain: Noted First mate..
Midshipman: (Thought bubble: Why would "the boy" stuff around with a modified foil when the wind is up and my NCX 8.5 is flying?)
Firstmate: I heard that thought bubble.. Maybe you are right. I could put up the SL 7.0 and be flying now..
Firstmate making good headway, then suddenly the ship strikes a submerged sea monster (Turtle shaped). Firstmate flys A-over-T and goes down with the ship. (Witnessed by a Cocky2.) Firstmate restores the mailsail, part of his composure and then sets forth again, but all does not seem well. There's a vibration and the foil is not up. Something is skew, so Firstmate decides to head back to Port just a smidgeon under 2 hours at sea on this seatrial..
