Did some work in the morning and wasn&#8217;t really thinking about going out. But Peter texted me and asked me about the 6.0 wing that he had and if I wanted to try it. So of course I couldn&#8217;t say no, and at around 5pm I&#8217;m heading down to the water! Once I got on the water it felt like the wind just dropped, but iwindsurf says that it didn&#8217;t and I thought I could still feel some white caps. The wing felt totally unmanageable, way too big, kept catching the tip in the water and really didn&#8217;t like the loops at all. Initially I got up on the foil once maybe twice, but the rest of the time it was just slow going back and forth. I do think that I like the boom better than I do loops.
