Super fun day! Nice to get out with Dan, been a long time, and the other winging crew! I get why everyone wings down at 3rd, not only is there lots of water but there some sweet breaking waves there. At first I was feeling a little over powered but it's nice to have enough wind to pop on the foil instantly. Had one funny moment when I crashed on the outside, when my head came up from under the water the wing behind me took off pulling my fist right into my lip, nothing like punching yourself in the face. Wearing 2 leashes takes some getting used to. Wind settled and I got warmed up then things got fun. Made a few jibes, still not foiling all the way through but close, started switching to an underhanded grip on the handle second to the front and it works great when flipping the wing. Also was able to sail switch out of my jibes on starboard tack but couldn't get on the foil. Got some sweet wave rides on the inside near 3rd, then when I was coming in up near the boat launch at the end of my session there were some beauties, not big but I got my best rides yet had one that felt like SUP surfing at Long Beach. It's amazing the sensation the foil adds to waist high wind swell.
