I’m writing this sitting next to the nice warm wood stove in the new Launch Pad. The plumbing is 90% done! It’s going to be a busy few more weeks. Hydro coming Monday maybe. Insulation site visit Monday too. Garage doors and fascia arriving shortly? And the buoys in the river should be moved soon as well.
So with all that going on and it being a rainy day, I wasn’t counting on getting a session on the water.
But by 4pm we had done our cleanup and I had some time to get out for a rip. I pumped up the 6m Duotone unit wing and took the 125 Sky board with the 1080 foil under it.
It is still a challenge for me getting out of the channel in the gusty south wind. After a few falls in the water I managed to get upwind and got going. What fun.
I went over to Chris and Ann’s dock and said hi! Hit 18.1 knots (33.5 km/h) on one of my speed runs. Pretty sure that is my fastest max speed so far foiling!
Then it was time to try some jumps. I think I need to focus on getting higher and keeping speed - I seem to land on my back on most landings. Jen got a nice video.

I was comfy in my 4/3 wetsuit in the 12°C air and 13°C water. By the end I was happy to get into the shower in the old building. Excited to have the bathtub installed in the new building with a plan to get it running in the next 2 weeks?
