Doug and Stephanie were coming over for lunch and I was hoping to get them out windsurfing in the afternoon. So I sailed the 7m Duotone Slick wing and the North demo gear to the point. The wind was 7 to 8 knots and I was able to get up on the foil just briefly for a few hundred meters. I think my heart rate I got up to 130 while it was pumping!
The wind never really built more than that except of course while we were having lunch. Nevertheless it was a wonderful day to be at the island. Full blog post coming at the launchpad website.

After our session we played with options for mounting the new windsock for the Launch Pad. I think we’ll get a pole instead of using lumber.
