I missed the RB sessions. Drove over there, waited a half hour, and left. The Goon had some decent puffs so rigged. By the time I was in the water it had dropped way off. Still, got foiling on a few reaches, in between sitting on the board in nothing. The wind got a bit better after half an hour. After I landed two other wings went out, one doing great. I moved the foil forward about 20 cm on the advice of Grant and it made a huge difference. I couldn't believe how early I was able to take off, board didn't feel squirrely at all, if anything much better balanced. Only had wind enough for one jibe attempt, used an underhand grip and 'windsurf style' gybe from the "Gybing for Dummies" video and came out foiling toe side and powered up. Fell in before I could really claim it but gave me hope. Why didn't I see the underhand grip for front hand thing before'!!!!!
