Windy.com and iWindsurf were right again with their predictions. 3pm wind shift to the SW. I made it out at 4pm after my (2nd last?) SMCF charity conference call and was tempted to go out on the Skate 108 windsurf board in the 20 knot winds.
With the temperature showing 5c and the windchill at 0c I put on the 6/5/4 wetsuit again and my thick booties and wonderful 3mil Decathalon Triboard Olaian gloves. By the time I got it all on, the wind was down to 16 knots.
So with the wind dropping, I took the 5m Duotone Slick Wing and the Fanatic 140 Stingray with the 99cm Slingshot foil.

| The SW wind built quickly but didn’t last |
I managed 20 minutes of foiling without falling and then tried itching my nose and fell! Soon it was hard to get going with the wind dropping. Jen took some photos of me taxiing near the point and my last ride in to the dock.
5 days in a row is pretty nice. Not much wind predicted for tomorrow but we’ll see…
