I did the wing cover thing again. At least this time I realized after only 5 blow out water start attempts. I was getting pretty upset at the buoyancy fresh water before I remembered the covers were still on.
After that, about as good as Faber gets. 25kn gusty, shifty holey. Best spot is right at the provincial park point. Two different swells converge as the water gets shallow. 980 continues to impress, it's max glide per manoverablity ratio is perfect for picking up lake/inlet swell, pumping but still rolls like a 930cm2 foil should. Feels a bit weird maxing out on speed so early, but the upwind is still as good as the faster ha's.
Wind shut off so fast it could have been waking up from a dream. A good one.
