After work foilboard vs freestyle board

After finishing all my work I headed out to finish my shelves in the shed.

But the gusty north wind had picked up, and so I headed out for the first time on the 36" Slingshot foil mast. It was actually very windy, and after my 4 x 2km runs in 30 minutes I was bushed. I was getting really long runs but my legs were so tense as I was on a knife's edge trying to keep speed and balance.

I did start feeling that I understand what the foil is doing below me and didn't overfoil once which was comforting.

Way more time planing on the foil than the freestyle Skate 108.

After the foiling runs it seemed windy enough to be on my Skate 108 - but I was wrong. I only got going in two gusts. I'm pretty sure that foiling is the better way to enjoy time on the water in marginal conditions.

And the shed is organized now!

After the session I put away all the boards (including my kids' board) on my new rack. Pretty excited about that!
