Got Phillip out windsurfing!

After being in the city, a torrential night of rain, and a bit of frustrating engine repair investigation I got to the Launch Pad and there was more wind than expected.

I took out the 7.0 NP V6 with the old Techno 148 and 48cm fin. I had some good planing runs and Phillip came out on the SeaDoo and I told him to put his harness on and then come out and swap with me. He did and he had a great session heading out to Dokis Island and back a few times.

Phillip enjoying the Techno!

My runs before Phillip came to get the board and sail

Max speed 40.3 km/h

Not much success on the Skate 108 as the wind died

I went back and tried the 5.6 and Skate 108 but the wind had shut down. So I went back for the Wing and that didn’t even work with the 99cm foil. So I tried again with the 5.6 on the 99cm foil and finally got some longer runs as the wind built up again.

Not much success with the wing either


And finally success with the 5.6 and 99 cm foil

Just 16 km but still much more than I expected.
