Not a repeat of Sunday

Acadia was W 10-15 inside / W 16-18 outside by the freighters

Alton Jr (120 lbs / 54 kg) was killing it on 8m+surfboard once she got out by the freighter.

I joined on 12m+surfboard for only 1/2 hr before giving the 12m to Alton Jr who actually preferred the faster 8m.

Got out on a windsurf foil, 4.5 wave sail bagged out, worked well in the conditions. Learning foiling and my best experience to date!

Helped a kite foiler with a foil kite locate his board as he lost sight of it so low to the water... maybe I should carry a short section of rope for assistance.

I found the board. When he was untangling his kite lines the board was upwind of him. A few minutes later the board was maybe 200m downwind of him. I towed it to shore using my uphaul. Most def should carry line. My uphaul was too short to keep the board away from my board and my back rail got the paint taken off from his foil. The board was headed straight for the big blue and white ship.

Great day for foiling, there was a fairly narrow band of wind which was in the 5.2 - 6.0 range.
