My journal entry for today:
Morning 25 May
Low tide was at 7:52. I got up at 6am. Thankfully it wasn’t overcast at sunrise. I was on the water around 7am. I had my FDAP, motor 6" below the board, and my PNG 1010. This was my best surf foiling performance. I guess I had ten rides with a long controlled flight. One thing I was aware of was getting high on foil is very important. The reduced drag makes a big difference. I could now add some energy by foil pumping. I do think the PNG 1010 is superior to the SP 860 here for riding about .9m high, unbroken, long-period waves. I had the entire first point break to myself. No one else came out. This was about 18 days after I started teaching myself to foil surf with a Foil Drive at San Juanico. I’m very happy with my situation. I really don’t think I could succeed at prone foil surfing. Perhaps I could catch one of these waves with a barracuda board and hand paddles. I’m quite happy that I can be out there having lots of fun foil surfing with this equipment at age 66. I got an excellent dose of cold therapy as well.
I decided to hunt for some 2nd Gen Axis wings. I have a friend and business owner in La Ventana, BCS. I’m buying from him used: an HPS 880, an HPS 1050, a black Advance CS fuselage, and a 375 progressive rear wing. I’m going to pay him most of the money and he trusts me to pay the rest. A friend of his will be bringing the items when he travels to SJ the day after tomorrow. I think I was quite lucky to find this deal.
