After checking the iwindsurf.com forecast, I decided to wing foil at the nearby Coyote Point. Inna decided to join me and watch me foil (and also stop by the nearby Equator Coffees coffee shop).
On arrival at Coyote Point (a 45-minute drive from San Jose) via US-101, the wind was showing as 14 knots, but the small wings used by most wing foilers suggested that it was far stronger (mostly 4.0m wings).
Wing Foiling Gear
- Board: Naish Hover LE Carbon Ultra 95
- Foil: Armstrong HS Foil Kit 1850cm
- Wing: Duotone Slick SLS 5.0m
- Harness: Dakine Flywing (L)
- Wetsuit: Feral 4mm Backzip Large Wetsuit
Here is a GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini video of my session:
I winged for about 90 minutes, enjoying the steady 15 knot wind and riding some of the swells on the way back to the shore. It was an excellent session!
I am getting used to the Dakine Flywing harness. It does help to release the stress on my arms, but it can be tricky to use.
