Tuesday 7 23 24 morning call

Another image from the M2O race: Annie Reickert on her way to first place finish in the Women Sup Foiling category. She was on a Lift X110 v1, a very technical foil with amazing top speed, but that doesn't like to go slow and be pushed hard when pumping. A courageous choice as Lift now also offers a more recreation oriented X110 Florence which is a lot more user friendly, but not quite as high performance as the v1. I was recently able to test both and I'm starting to consider testing foils as my 5th foiling discipline.

Very small southerly energy at the buoys and nothing on the webcam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
