After checking the iwindsurf.com pro forecast, which had a very favorable outlook for Saturday's wind, I decided to wingfoil at Coyote Point in San Mateo.
I rigged my Duotone Slick SLS 5.5 m² wing, as it seemed the right
call for current conditions. It was just right near the shore, but too
much in the channel.
Wing Foiling Gear
- Board: Naish Hover LE Carbon Ultra 95
- Foil: Armstrong HS Foil Kit 1250
- Wing: Duotone Slick SLS 5.5 m²
- Harness: Dakine Flywing (L)
- Wetsuit: Feral 4mm Backzip Large Wetsuit
I winged for 90 minutes, reaching a maximum speed of 15 knots using the
smaller Armstrong 1250 front wing. The wind was very gusty with
bursts of 20 knots in the channel. I had a fantastic time and really
enjoyed this session. At around 16:00, I sailed back and
de-rigged.
Here is a GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini recording of my session. The camera door opened during filming, and the HERO11 Black Mini stopped working. Only a few clips survived. I decided to replace it with the same model and add a waterproof cover.
