Took afternoon off work as wind forecast was solid 15+ most of the afternoon. Arrived to The Pope out ripping it up on his little knife foil and RedVanPaul, Gautam(who needs a nickname), MtnarG and The Great Danno all rigging up. I decided to rig up my Oldstyle Foilcraft and not get wet above my knees today as there were no crashes. It was a really great session!! 9 out of 10. Lots of swell everywhere, some fairly flatter spots outside and downwind. Lots of Doods out on the water. I counted 12 when I came in after an hour to have a snack and some Tea and more showed up after that, does no one work anymore.? Rupp-Dogg, ULR and TunaCan all ripping it up with Tuna going supersonic on the inside. It is my daughters birthday today so I had to pull the plug early but as I had hit my 50kms after 2 hours, it worked out well. There was lots of big logs (H-Rock shin-killers) in the bay which all of a sudden I'm scared of hitting so I had to turn on my Terminator Eyes to scan the water in front of me. No crashes after 2 hours of foiling in very wavy conditions was pretty cool not getting wet past my knees. Temp was warm enough for no gloves and with the sunshine I got a tan line where the bottom of my wetsuit meets my water shoes, ankle tan's are sweet!! The PTM926 really is the best all around front foil. Good speed, great glide, lifts early and stall speed is very low. Love that foil! Okay, blah, blah, blah.....so much fun today. Still wearing a S-eating grin while writing this and drinking my Corona and watching TNF. Tomorrow is no wind which means, putting up xmas lights on the house. SWEET!!
BOBSON OUT!!
