I was there yesterday, I could have used a 4.5. Those were some big gusts pushing through and it filled in around 4 pm.

Looks real nice Doug and John. I'll hopfully see you there in a few weeks once Kona (puppy) gets a bit older.

That's one interesting thing about windfoiling at Harrison. You can often rig smaller (helps if you can pump to foil, but you don't have to if you wait longer for the gust). Rigging smaller allows you to rip on gusts with a not too big sail. Then on the lulls you're fine or challenging your skills to stay on foil to the next windline.
