Jimmy's beach, nsw. First flight on the flying fin. A very brief moment of silence. First time it went up it rolled sideways and spat me off. Second time it went straight for a moment, just long enough to have a laugh before coming down and going sideways into a tack.

I'd like to sail longer distance upwind and downwind and ride swells in the bay, and sail up along the ocean beach a long way.
Foil windsurfing seems like the go to try that.
I hope i can persevere to learn. It seems like a heavy learning curve.

I only got an hour at it before the wind died, unfortunately.

Wind was very light 10-12kts, rigged small as i was scared of first flights. JP SLW 165, Ezzy Lion 6.5, NP flight AL

Dave you picked a tough foil to start on compared to what is available now days    

I am sure 3 or 4 years ago the pioneers of windfoiling mastered that one

Keep chipping away and seek advice from experienced locals Cool
