28 days ago Patchy 5kts with patches of 8 - 12kts SSE Marmong
4th attempt at winging. 5m matador- 130ltre F 0ne- 1800 / 330
Gert said it was like a patchy W but it was the best wind I've had so far. I didn't like the look of it as there was more chop than Teralba with 5kts at the launch and a couple of better patches occasionally. I didn't think I'd be able to stand but I went ok.
Managed to stand on both tacks so long as there was enough wind to power the wing a bit to help me. After about 15mins of falling in I wasn't as good but I tried some longer runs and was enthused enough to want to have a go when the wind came in.
Wing control need work but I've worked out how to avoid the wing catching in the water. A few Youtube videos have been helpful.
No foiling yet and my wing control needs improvement. I'm getting there slowly.
Garmin 2 sec 5.3kts - distance 4.47kms. I'm getting a good workout scrambling on all the time.
Paul on the windfoil , Gert , Kath on wings and another guy who was less advanced than me which was surprising. The IQ foilers were amazing..many dinghies , wings , windfoils racing.
