Snuck in a lunchtime session in super light winds and very flat water. Arrived to The Pope rigging up his 7.0m gigantor wing and only a 1080cm2 front foil which was pretty amazing. I rigged up a very fat 6.0m Sailworks Flyer and put on the 1700cm2. As we headed out, Poper was up on foil just past the channel marker, I followed in and got up in a gust right away inside the channel marker which doesn't usually happen. Wind was gusty but 10-12 mostly for the first 30 mins but then for the last 30 mins dropped to 6-12kts so there was a lot of pumping involved and searching for gusts to jibe in. Since I only had an hour I pulled the plug just after 'His Grace' but as we were de-rigging it looked to be a bit stronger and a bit steadier. oh well, it was a great workout and the view of Mt. Baker was awesome. I learned a light wind jibing trick today, if I stand directly on top of my board and keep my sail forward I can stay on foil going very slow and it's easier to pump out of the turn. The standing part I think I've learned from my Winging this summer. Happy to get out with MattyP! Oooohhh, and the new watch was amazing. Easy to read in the sun with a big face. It feels like a long time since I last had my data to look at after a session. Soooo much better than without. Anyone who hasn't tried a GPS watch to track their data really needs to try. I don't think you'll ever go back. WooHoo!!!!
