Wing Foiling Coyote Point

After checking the iwindsurf.com pro forecast, I decided to wing foil at Coyote Point in San Mateo. 

On arrival at Coyote Point (a 45-minute drive from San Jose) via US-101, the wind was showing as 15 knots. I decided to rig my brand-new Duotone Slick SLS 5.5m wing

    Wing Foiling Gear

• Board: Naish Hover LE Carbon Ultra 95
• Foil: Armstrong HS Foil Kit 1250cm
• Wing: Duotone Slick SLS 5.5m
• Harness: Dakine Flywing (L)
• Wetsuit: Feral 4mm Backzip Large Wetsuit

Initially, when I sailed out, the wind was alight, and I couldn't get the foil flying. After about 20-minutes, the wind picked up, and I started to enjoy the session.

I winged for 70 minutes, reaching a maximum speed of 16.8 knots using the smaller 1,250 cm Armstrong front wing. At around 2:40 pm, the wind picked up, and I started to get overpowered. I was getting tired, so I sailed back and unrigged. It was not a bad session, but I probably should have rigged a smaller wing.
