Almost Jibing the Foil

Late Monday afternoon the wind did pick up a bit as windy.com had predicted. It was 11-13 knots on my wind meter. I headed out on the 76cm foil under the Techno and 6.5m NP V6.

A nice sunset post foil session photo with my girl!

I was working on my upwind downwind riding and S turns. I also started taking my back foot out of the strap and trying to place it in the centre for my jibe attempts. On one jibe it seemed to be in the perfect spot and I was flying using my back foot all the way through the downwind part of the jibe and the sail flip. I dropped of the plane then but quickly got going again. It was the first time my back foot was in the middle of the board and I felt like I might eventually make a jibe!

I almost made my first foil jibe - see arrow!
And the chart shows a few other decent attempts.

The Google earth chart also shows lots more S turns and upwind downwind sections.

Liking how my heart rate drops during the longer foiling periods.
And over 50% of the time planing on the foil!

The Garmin says I spent over 50% of my time planing (and it was accidentally off for a good bit of the session.) That is close to my record of 53% of my record during my last session on the high wind day I had last weekend.
