Kyeemagh, NSW, AU 5 with 20km gusts from the North. 7.0m, JP Windfoil 135,Slingshot with H2(large) front wing.

Magnificently inconsistent and probably not the best for my second attempt on the foil but found a huge difference by getting into the straps early, as it gave me much more control over the board direction (well compared to having almostr no control oput of the straps). My dolphin impressions were a sight to behold careering up out of the water then diving the nose back in. I have to say I'm very impressed with the JP Windfoil 135. When it hits the water it really stays on the plane and wants to bounce right back into flight. Energy expended: 90 miutes on foil = 3 hours on slalom board. One scary momemnt where the board railed away from me and I was about to dismount directly onto the foil but managed to avert disaster!!

Brave effort Jules in trying to foil in that dodgy offshore breeze. Sounds like you are enjoying the challenge and will be a pro in no time.Cool

I was there after 3 but did not take the gps, it turned NW it was crazy trying to get back, but some nice runs a bit offshore. I saw a foil was it you?
