2 hours ago Wing No 23 Rathmines Point, NSW, AU
5- 12kts SSE
5m Naish Matador - 130ltre Fone - 1800 front wing
Some of the wingers suggested Rathmines for a learner mainly SE - E . It's a lovely spot.
Well I tried.
Onshore breeze , waves ( only 30cms but made it hard) and not enough wind.
I was keen to build on the small bit of foiling I did last time. I found it exhausting falling off all the time.
I was getting up standing until I got tired. The one turn I did was staying kneeling.
I couldn't turn ( back to videos to learn what to do with the wing).
I suppose I managed to work up and got foiling once.. Wobbled from side to side for a few wobbles and fell off. I'm starting to be able to pump the wing and board when there is enough wind..
It was starting to pick up a bit but I was too tired. zzzz
I think I'll stick to flatwater Belmont until I can get up and stay up on the foil. Pity as rathmines is a lot closer to home and a better drive.
Tony arrived to Windfoil as I came out. I was tempted to get the big fin kit out but the big board doesn't point subplaning. Tony said it wasn't much good anyway.
