Okay, I've got a real addiction to this tropical foiling! Another shorty day at Pipers! So warm that it was a relief to crash and get some cooling comfort. Started with 6m as it felt much like yesterday's light wind session. Lifting was easy and it was stronger than Friday. Same bigger swells in the morning that kinda scared me. Spent much of session1 in the bay doing powered carves and quick jibes that make me happy. But the wind kept amping up and soon I feared for my wing's stitching. I went in for a beer and chips lunch break and my 4m. That was the right weapon for this wing flight. I occasionally played in the swells beyond Clark rock and marvelled and BWD's flagging mastery. It was hard to end the session with so much wind still left. Beers after with the local legends was very cool.
