Arrived grumpy from being in a first aid course all day knowing that G was cranking and RB seemed anemic. For once it picked up as I was rigging. My initial grumpiness intensified as eel grass, kelp, wood, and other flotsam littered the playground and fouled the foil. GPS died early. Swell just got better and I started to just ignore the extra drag from the eel grass being collected. Some of the best rides in weeks and nice to be be back on the long mast and 1225. Tried Greg's Omen 1050 and 60L board for a bit. Such a nice rig!! How a narrow, longer 60L launches so easily in light air with a 1050 foil is beyond me, but that gear points to the future of winggidy dingiddy design. Anyone considering Armstrong, Axis, Takuma, etc should really take a close look at the Omen system too; it's so good.
