Sailworks Retro 7.5, Goya Bolt 90, MFC KP-RC360 Wind: 15 12G18 17 14G22
A day to struggle. Couldn't get the Goya to easily pop on a plane, wanted to round into the wind, was just a lot of work. At the end of the day, learned from Roo that 7.0 is probably the biggest sail I should put on the Goya because 'over sail' on a board causes the problems I just mentioned. Too much sail puts too much pressure on the mast base and keeps the board stuck in the water longer than is normally would be before poping on a plane.
Another day, anther learning experience. Got a lot of practice clearing and waterstarting the 7.5 sail...

Spent the first hour flying around on the WindFoil, everything starting to click and working on foiling jibes, got 2/3 of the way around one already.
Had a session on the slalom gear fin testing, amazing the difference 1 cm makes !

3077 days ago 2 categories   Kalmus, Cape Cod. Lovely little freestyle session on 5.6. If I'd know that Chris was going the distance, I would have backed him up - but the forecast predicted the wind to drop, while predicting nice wind all day for the next day. One of these days, we'll coordinate better...
