How to carry a windsurf foil board

Another weekend, and another chance to foil. The southwest wind hovered from 10-15 knots all day, and the 6.2 wasn't quite enough to get going.

While I was carrying the board back and forth to the water several times, I finally figured out how to carry the foil board. I had tried my traditional footstrap and universal joint method and wound up breaking one footstrap. I had also carried the board on my head, but that kind of hurts. And carrying the board from the foil mast doesn't work well either.

My wife got this shot of my new carrying technique, you hold onto the foil fuselage and a footstrap!

Then, just as I was ready to call it a day, the wind picked up and was blowing 13-17. My wife got some nice video:

I got a number of runs, but many ended in low impact catapults. 32km/h top speed! Here's the chart.

A good number of foil runs in my 26 minute session.
