Where's the wind? Getting impatient to try that bad boy out! Hopefully later this week after the heavy rain on the horizon goes through. Oh, the other factor, lowest water levels since Dam being built. Let's see, low water+foil=busted foil

Whoa!
Last couple of days have been fruitful with wind although Thursday at Rufus was way North 'devil' winds. I did learn a few things real quick (what not to do) like head downwind on a foil right of the get-go. Upwind is the way to go.
Friday at Stevenson (east winds) were a bit steadier and I'd say the foil is very efficient, way more than my novice skills as a foilier. The board almost instantly starts to foil which is great and by foot adjustments I could even it out.
Super stoked!
John
