I'm so grateful for foiling. Another nice sunny day but only 11 knot winds. So back on the 6.5 NP V6 which Randy (boat tops) had just fixed up the stitching on for me. I think a few years ago I would have been
frustrated on the 9.0.
I foiled for an hour while Phillip took his friends for runs on the Seadoo. On some of the runs he followed me foiling. Windsurf foiling looks smooth and quiet and simple. I think that might have been why so many of the friends wanted to try windsurfing?
So we headed out to the simulator for a refresher for Maxx and beginner lessons for other friends.

| Maxx was doing great and stayed upwind the whole time |

| Go Maxx! |
Here is speed and GPS map from my 13 km, 55 minute foil session. 31.1 km/h top speed. A few jibe attempts but no success there!
