12 out of 17

I didn't really expect to get another session. 7 in a row actually. And 12 out of 17 days in September. And #59 for the year.

The weather has turned cold; 4c overnight with a north wind all day. It was sunny and 13 once I was done work and got out to the Launch Pad. The wind was still there at 6pm and so I suddenly decided to go out for one more foil. I took the 7.0 NP V6 and the Stingray foil with 76 cm foil wind.

I was still able to go out in just my 2 mil wetsuit as I didn't plan on falling in. And I didn't fall in even though I was trying some aggressive foil jibes. My success is improving as I set the back foot ever farther across the board and forward during the carve with the other foot then moving right into the footstrap.

I definitely needed to wait for the 10 knot west wind to have a 12 knot gust to pump onto the foil. My heart rate really jumps during those pumping sessions. Short session but sweet.

Max speed 29.9 km/h.
Heart rate relates to pumping and then speed.

Coldest day of the summer. Fall is coming.

The local wind farm was in the process of replacing another of the 1 year old blades. It sure is nicer looking when there isn't a crane on the horizon.

Let's see what the fall brings after a quick trip back to the city.
