Would normally have taken out the surfboard in these conditions, but wanted to see how the foil would handle it, prepared myself to get worked. Low tide so had to walk/body drag for a while to get to the deeper water. Lots of confused seas and current on the outside and some decent sized swell, ended up being lots of fun on the foil, the larger mast made it easier to get through all the chop, although a short mast would have been easier for surfing the shore break. Lots of people out and overall a fun time.
