Foiling and more beginners!

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 getting ready to go windsurfing. Friends learning on the simulator(s).

Good form Maxx with lots of upwind ground being made

Keen beginners

Gonna be good tomorrow 
Phillip did get planing twice on the Techno and 7.0 but I missed getting a photo



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!

A few jibes attempts in the session


Speed and heart rate
And a nice photo from my wife's phone...
