It was a perfect bay day and the SW thermal wind built nicely at 1pm. I had started a repeat lesson for Ron and then Cameron joined as well. Cameron struggled in the now 15 knot winds so we decided to take a wind check for next time.
I had sailed the 6m North wing and 138L North board to the point so Phillip could demo it. Philllip had a great wingfoiling session. Lots of details about the lessons at the Launch Pad Blog.
After saying bye to Cam, I went out on the North gear. It worked very well and I wingfoiled 7km without falling in at all. The wind had built more and now Key Harbour was the windiest spot on the Great Lakes.
I came in and set up the 1080 foil under my Fanatic Sky 125L board. I got going easily but found it wobbly underfoot. Then I got used to it again and just found it super responsive. And jumpable!

I continued with the 6m wing for a very long time, a bit surprised that my arms weren’t killing me without a harness. It seemed the wind was dropping so I took Ron out on the water with the small Duotone iRig. That was a huge success.
