On the foil 6x - 2+ jibes

After 10 days away, we arrived to a very wet Key River with some of the biggest waterfalls I’ve ever seen flowing down both shores in several spots. And then some wind gusts…

I got out to the Launch Pad but it wasn’t really blowing. I puttered a bit and then topped up the 7m Slick and went out on the Sky 125 with 2000cm foil.

It was 6-9 knots and I managed to get going twice - pumping on my non dominant goofy side seems to work better. Just as I was giving up the wind picked up and I got several runs and even a few foil jibes. I eventually floated downwind sitting on my board. The sun came out for a moment just after my session.

My 6 foil runs with 2 jibes

I was warm in my 4/3 wetsuit in the 13c air and 13c water. Likely the warmest day I’ll see for the rest of the year - which is now only 9 days till we close up.

Happy that the Launch Pad Cam caught a good jibe video!

Excited that someone is already bidding on my Launch Pad auction item benefitting the Georgian Bay Land Trust
