The wind had been building steadily all morning during the fun windsurf lesson I was giving to Laura and Alex. After a quick lunch wrap I was raring to get on the foil. I chose the 7m Duotone Slick wing even though I’m guessing I could have gotten going with the 5m. Our guests watched me take off from the dock and get up on the foil shortly after reaching the wind line.
From there I did one pivot jibe and then I was on the foil steadily getting upwind. I dropped by Diamond Key and arranged our later Happy Hour meeting.

I was feeling good and started working on foiling tacks. A few where I fell off the foil and then I got a few staying on the foil. Then some duck jibes and even a jump - my first this year! I worked on the “race jibe” I’ve watched on Wing Academy. So that was the most tricks I’ve tried in a session. Definitely need to take advantage of the warm weather! I am pretty happy with how my foiling in the narrow channel has developed since April 2021 when I had my first wing foil session.
Key harbour was again the windiest I saw on www.iWindsurf.com - although I saw that others were scoring sessions in spots like Sandbanks. Looks like more lessons and wind for tomorrow!
