The wind was super gusty from the north north east. When we got out to the Launch Pad there were still some gusts coming through. I went out on the WeCANFoil Severne wind foil rig with the 5.7m sail.

I slogged out to where the wind line normally is but there wasn’t even enough wind coming from the north to get up on the foil.
I very much enjoyed doing light wind freestyle: upwind 360s duck tacks, heli tacks, etc. Didn’t even fall in. I was just in my shorts with a nice warm 22°C wind and the water at 19°C. Not too bad considering it’s the end of September!
The water was super clear. I just keep saying this but it was the clearest I’ve ever seen it.

There was one gust where I managed to get up on the foil once very very briefly. Just enough to be able to say that it was a "foiling session".

But the reality was it was just Zen being out on a gorgeous almost cloudless day enjoying warm weather. Windfoiling is definitely the best option when the wind is gusting from 5-15 knots. Freestyle and then a chance of foiling.

| Beautiful day! |
I was feeling particularly good after doing some nice construction back on the shed and using the table saw for the first time to make a new birch bark lamp for my wife!
