More fun winging at the terminal. Super flat water today with the wind coming from the West. Worked on pumping the board with no power in the wing and started to get some nice long rides. Also worked on carving and things started feeling really fun. Went for a super powered up carve jibe when my back foot slipped inside my boot putting sudden pressure on the outside rail, the board flipped back and I feel forward and thought I was going to get skewered by the foil. I could see the foil coming out of the water as I was about to belly flop on top of it and I quickly rolled on my side to avoid it. Nasty! My foot slipped in my boot again a few more times even though I was trying to take it easy, never wearing those things again, switching back to my Atans!! I stopped wearing them in mid winter when my feet were getting too cold and went with a 5mm boot. Besides that little scare it was a very fun day winging in the sun. Great to see Chuck and Cash at the beach!
