After yesterday’s great session I wasn’t really expecting another. The Sunset foilers chat was active with guys planning on hitting the water as the wind switched to NW around 1pm.
I stopped and checked out the iWindsurf station at Sunset Beach park right near the Chippery restaurant. The guys were rigging closer to the surf spot.

At 9 knots I wasn’t expecting much and rigged the 7m Slick with the 1500 foil. The air was colder so I was in my 5/4 suit. I got out on the water and 3/5 guys were consistently foiling. I managed to get up on the foil for one 200m run before the wind shut down and we all slogged back in.

| My one little run showing red hot speed! |

| Whoop whoop 200 meters of foiling! |
There was some debate about the wind coming up again and Tom and Greg rigged up bigger gear. I waded out when they did but it was really too light for me. Greg did get going consistently which was awesome to watch and a bit humbling.

I had a 7m as well but there was no chance I was getting going. Oh well, hope to get some more back up north next week.
Jen and I did a ton of gardening and then enjoyed Blue Mountain’s springlicisous dinner promotion at Copper Blues.
