Peter (48505km):
274 days ago Corpus Christi, BIB. Great wing session after a 9-day break. 16 knots gusting to 20, sunny, warm, flat water water for jibes. Finally got my first cleanly foiled through jibe, with footswitch, where the board did not touch the water at all. Plenty other jibes with just a very brief touchdown. A couple of wing PBs, a #2 nauti with 3 jibes, and top-5 entries in 5x10 and distance. And for the very first time ever, all my GPS numbers are better than Nina's (who had a slightly shorter session). Took me 120 wing sessions to get the foiled jibes - plenty more fun in the future. Funny thing is that the session started out with a ton of crashes in jibes, after the last session on the Stingray 140 had given me 50 minutes of dry winging with 30 dry jibes - a bit frustrating. Things clicked towards the end of the session, when I had 10 jibes with min. speed > 5 knots in a row.
