Longest wind foil run - 1/2 km!

4 days of windsurfing in a row! That doesn't happen to me at home very often. The new wind foiling is definitely getting me out more often.

Today it was blowing 10-15 knots, a day where I likely wouldn't have bothered rigging the 9.0 sail to just go back and forth at bit.

But I was excited to try the wind foil again and see if I could get more than one 200m run like yesterday.

I headed out and tacked upwind to get into the clear wind. This was now my 6th ever session of wind foiling.

I had a couple of good runs and started feeling much more comfortable with the foil under me. On my last run I really sheeted in and got going faster and faster - almost 30 km/h!

5th foil session - one 500 meter run with 29.8 km/h top speed!

I think I'm almost ready to graduate from the 30 inch (largest of 3 sizes) flight school mast and move to the mast the Slingshot Hover Glide FWIND1 came with, the big 36 inch mast.

Next time I'll also rig the 7.0 sail and see how that feels. It is exciting to have a whole new sport to try!

Coming back in smiling!
