Fun session! Rode the 1250 on the 50 fuse for the first time. Felt great! Put straps on the 72L for the first time and worked on jumps. Landed at least half of them which was better than expected. Got a few that seemed like decent hang time but the windsurfing style jumping technique feels hard to break. Would love to learn Raleys. The pop you get from a foil is weird at first and timing the pop with the wave lip takes some concentration. Not 100% sold on wang jumpin' but feel like I learned a lot this session. Windsurfing and kite jumps feel much better to me. Biggest take away from the session is that when you finally get your foot straps set correctly, turning can be pretty radical. Breach and wing tip recovery is so much easier with straps. Funny that the 1250 felt slow to me for the first time ever, but it was the perfect choice for getting jumping basics down. Looking forward to strapping in on the 925. Lots of guys out today and cool to see everyone absolutely shredding. Lots of progression for the RB crew!
