| Details | Looked like the wind might be light but first session was on a 3.5 m, and it was enough. Went up the lake with Tweezer but didn't get as far upwind as him and did not want to come off foil with the 3.5. Took a work break then back with the HA1125 and 6.1 m around 5 or 6 pm. I pumped up the wing at my campsite and someone said: "Are you pumping up to go out? The wind is dying and all wingers are coming off the water." Great second session. I can't believe there are bigger XPS wings for light wind. The 6.1 m is plenty massive and, while efficient, it is big to move during transitions...still tons of fun in the final session with the bigger wing and lightish conditions (maybe 10 knots, if that, but steady). The wing canopy is very tight for being so large. Hope it stays that way for some time!! [from Session Log on Thursday August 29, 2024] |
