After Monday’s cool wingfoiling and skiing session, today I decided to switch it up and go skiing first and THEN wingfoiling.

| Wingfoiling after skiing! |
I did my morning ski session which with more runs closing each day - was definitely spring skiing and feeling like the end of the season…

| Ready to launch |
The wind was from the south east again but as I headed over to Sunset point, it was feeling even more offshore and gusty than it was on Monday. I decided it would be a better idea to launch from the harbour where there’s a retaining wall in case I ran into any problems and had to drift down wind. I parked at Millennium park and did a wind check. It was gusting 10 to 15 as I got the board set up and put my 6/5/4 wetsuit on. It felt like it was dropping off a bit so I rigged up the 7m Duotone Slick wing.
It was easy to walk down the rocks into pretty clean water. I got on the board and pumped away and was foiling right in the harbour where I windsurfed three years ago and boated through, but have never wing foiled here before.
Jen and Katie came and took some pictures which I didn’t know about until after. Also Brendan from the Sunset Point Foilers also came and took a little bit of video.
I did 9.5 km in 45 minutes. A bit short but the wind was building and the 7m wing was starting to become difficult to flip. I thought I should quit after having a good session with a lot of jibes and a couple of foiling tacks.
I picked up a Big Mac Value meal on the way home and was excited for another awesome multi sport day here in Collingwood!
