From Friday. Still a long way to go but it's fun learning. I need to work on my transitions and pumping. Yesterday was a good day to practice switch at the ferry terminal, lots of wind! Once I get switch sailing down I think that will be a game changer.

Sweet, looking good Michael! Have you tried with footstraps? I hear it helps pumping on the foil but probably annoying when up and trying to gybe?

Thanks Adam, Alton and Richi!

Alton, it is a lot of fun!

I've been experimenting with the footstraps. Some days I use them, some not. I like using just the back strap and think I've found the best position for it but I was having a lot of fun strapless. I heard they would help pumping but not so much with this board as it wasn't designed for winging and the strap inserts aren't in the right spot, it just feels weird.
