2nd Wingfoil of 2025

It was great to have a free day in Collingwood line up with a warmish northwest wind on Georgian Bay. 

I packed up the car and checked out Northwinds Beach, Long Point and the Harbour but decided to go launch at Sunset Point Beach.

9 jibes? 5km

Nice day!


The wind was steady at the Sunset Beach tempest weather Station showing 13 knots. I put the 6m Duotone Echo wing on the 1500 Duotone Sky 125 foil board.

It was nice that the water that was already much clearer than the last time I was here. It took a little bit of swimming and flailing to get out to the wind line. I was fine in my 5/4 wetsuit but likely should have worn a hood instead of the helmet.

I got up and did a bunch of jibes in a row right after starting which felt great. After a few falls my forearms were starting to hurt quite a bit even though I could ride with the harness on the way out. I decided to see how much energy it would take to swim back and so bailed on my last run and did a swim.

After that went for a stand-up paddleboard and got standing on one run which was fun. Overall a short 50 minute session and I definitely need to work on my stamina. But great to get out on an increasingly sunny day and enjoy the south end of Georgian Bay.

The wind died down in the afternoon, 
Glad I went when I did.

Finished the day with some indoor rock climbing with Timo and watched the Leafs go 2 up on their series with the Sens. Off to the Launch Pad tomorrow.
