Wing Foiling at Coyote Point

After checking the iwindsurf.com pro forecast, which had a very favorable outlook for Saturday's wind, I decided to wingfoil 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. The forecast called for 20 knots by 15:00, but I didn't believe it.

I rigged my Duotone Slick SLS 5.5m wing, as it seemed the right call for current conditions. It was just right near the shore, but too much in the channel.

• 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

I winged for 90 minutes, reaching a maximum speed of 15 knots using the smaller 1,250 cm Armstrong front wing. The wind was very gusty with bursts of 20 knots in the channel. I had a fantastic time and really enjoyed this session. At around 16:00, I sailed back and de-rigged. 

Here is a GoPro Hero 11 Black Mini recording of my session. (Note: the door on the GoPro Hero 11 opened during the shoot, and the camera died. I did manage to record a few clips. When I tried to revive it, the GoPro would not turn back on).
