Strava
I see from Strava, that Brad and Blaine foiled at Pigeon Lake today, Mike Kited at Abraham Lake, and over the last few days, Handre, Brad, Blaine, and Gerry have all been out, some of them more than once. Unfortunately, no one has sent me any stories, or photos.
Dried Meat Lake - Ted's Place
Louise and I went out on our SUP's and Wind Wings. Louise was on a 4.0 and I was on my 6.0. On her first attempt, Louise struggled to keep upwind, so Spencer took out the boat and towed her back upwind. She said she really enjoyed it, and will try it again. By the end of her session she was almost staying upwind.
I went out a few times, but when she was downwind, I came to shore and took the jetski to follow Spencer.
After Lunch, I tried the WindWing on my Windsurf Foil board. The wind had picked up a bit, so I was hopeful, but I didn't have enough power to fly the foil, and the foil really creates a lot of drag, compared with a fin, so it was a lot of work. I did manage to get out and back to the same spot, but I didn't feel I was even close to getting up on the foil.
I took out my 7.0 and had a really good session. I have moved the front wing to the forward position (switched the fuselage around), and that seem to work really well. My back foot is further forward, but that is no problem now that I have removed the rear footstraps, and it seems more natural.
