All right! First foil session ever at Lacarno. Forgot my harness bar, so arms were getting tired. Had a few flights up to 2 or 3 seconds, 2:30-4:00. Slingshot H2/Gamma, 24" mast, 5.5M Retro. No back straps, front straps are inboard. 5.5m was plenty of power as I was sheeted out all the time.
After a few times uphauling I was able to do deep beach starts and two feet waterstarts.
Even though I was not flying most of the time the foil still lifted the board so I didn't feel the chop at all; I was going much slower though.
Once flying the foil wants to go upwind, heading out.
