A bit of windfoiling and then boat foiling!

John and Jane were up and we were enjoying the Launch Pad. Sailing, swimming and lounging. 

Nice ladies out sailing!

I had a brief session on the 9.0 with 99cm foil. I got going 4 times, always on starboard tack. Curious why I’m better pumping up onto the foil on goofy when I’m actually regular stance?

Only got going when on my goofy (wrong) side..

Four very short foil runs

John and I had a nice sail that I recorded the track on. Then Jane and Jen went out.

On the way back for dinner I foiled behind the boat. I’m getting better and was actually able to carve small turns. I could almost stay up riding on the wave too, using just two fingers to hold onto the tow rope.

Here is my Vimeo video of the boat foiling which Jane took. (Thanks Jane!)


Speed chart while foiling behind the boat.
20 km/h was comfortable

So here‘s a nice photo of John and Jane on ”The Ride Home”.

The ride home.
