    It was looking so promising but never took off. Tried to get out on a gust with the my 1099 and 5M but I needed something bigger. As a result, I listed west and than got stuck in coral shallows with my longest mast (stupid). Learned about what's underneath the bay nearer to the water plant...the hard way...lol. All good learnings.

    Most memorable aspect of the day was getting post session tips from Flash Austin, reputedly THE guy on record for putting a foil and an early version of the wing together for the first time. Happened to have a kiting buddy record it which gave Ken Winners (Duotone) the idea to do something with inflatable tech, and we now have over 80 wing manufacturers on the planet....only five years later.
