Wow, I didn’t realize that was your first session of the season, Doug! You’ve lost weight! No wonder you’re so fast! Yes, I remember that one pass where Corey and I were on the same rip. I was trying to test the foil speed out and compare my speed to his. Corey was definitely faster, I was on my 5.5 Hydra Ezzy and he on a 6.5 Ezzy. He was dialed in nicely for variable conditions and the extra float helped him through the lulls, but I did my fair share of slogging waiting for puffs, especially waiting for the forecast to kick in while on foil.
It was nice getting a session in at my old sailing grounds before the busy season of swimmers and boats. I got a kick out of foiling over the double wave chop reflecting off the pier on my way to Squaw Island, (not a very PC name for an island). Maybe we’d should call it tiny island where boat propellers and windsurfer fins meet their match. But not in high spring water!!!
Fun being out with fellow sharks! And Nick!
