Strange days indeed.

Yes it's been quiet on the foiling front for me. I've spent much of winter hibernating as I've found the wind mostly unsuitable for my reduced quiver (my 9m Hyperlink is in for a bridle repair) for the past several months. Either bugger all wind or nuking storm fronts. Had a great 3 hour session last Sunday on my 6m in 15 - 20kts and am now really amped for the coming season. The seabreeze pattern is starting to make an appearance here in WA, so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Brissy offered 1-2 days per week foiling over winter on the bay. Now with the seabreezes starting foiling is almost a daily event. Out on a 5.5 in a warm northerly 2 days ago, yesterday a 12 and today is looking too strong at 30 knots so maybe a SB day.

4 days and nothing.
Even the windsurf foilers have stuff to share.
But all good for me atm just wondering if the same for others.

That's only cause the big boss found something for you to do. Lol.

You could have kited tuesday.

3 to 4 sessions a week primarily due to riding a foil. Love the bloody things.

Getting in plenty of days in Jervis Bay lately. I have been back for four weeks since I was away or 4.5 months and have been out on average three days a week, which is pretty good for this time of the year.

Have just bought first foil not Chinese and a track box and I am now looking for pedestal to board nut / bolts.. a bit pissed off spending this much and still need more hardware...
So not happy!!
It would leave a much better taste knowing where you stood up front..

Are the nuts which fit into a slingshot track box custom or generic shape (M8 bolts)? So for example.. would a N.Pride Windsurfer nut fit?
Thanks

usually mounting bolts and hardware come with the board not the foil.

I think my Naish foils had the bolts included but no shims.

Been quiet for me. Had a shoulder reco 6 weeks ago ??. I'll just back on the foil when my shoulder works again

I'll be 72 when I next kite foil.
But plan to windsurf foil before so got less than a week.
All new and old foil gear presents will receive a personal SB thanks.

That is awesome, and inspiring. Hats off to you dude, keep it moving!

This winter has been exceptionnal if you can get on the water at the right time. The wind never last for long... have to be ready to swim couple times but the rest is good.
I have been foiling at least 3 times a week in light wind.

Yesterday might have been the best session so far in 7 to 15 knots, glassy water, 9m light weight single strut proto ... those kites are amazing in light wind. Dont need the full race gear for a fun session in marginal wind.

See you on the water... today could be another good session.

Hardly been out kiting, but surf foiling at least twice a week. Wind has been all over the place or on when at work!. But foiling waves - you get a session just about every time. Foiling on kite, sup & now prone board to feed the addiction.
