S turns on Sunday

The SW wind was 10-15 knots and so I went out as usual on the 6.5 NP V6 and the 76 cm foil under the Techno.

For the first while, I generally had to pump onto a plane. But once I was going, I felt more in control than ever before. I was regularly going up and down wind and then also started doing carving S turns while sailing. What fun, carving on the foil. I'm hoping that will help with future jibe attempts.

My friends were out at the point and caught a few shots as the wind picked up. Thanks Michel! I was out for over an hour and spent 30% of the time planing - a new stat the Windsurf app on my Vivoactive 3 Garmin watch records.

Happy about how straight my legs are now after around 40 sessions

My heart rate is starting to come down on the longer foil runs
Heart rate also lower while it was windy in the middle of the session. (Less pumping)

Windy suggests late Monday will be good.
