Thursday 7 3 25 morning call

Instead of pictures of flat Hookipa, I'd rather share youtube foil videos that I found interesting. This one is from Dave West, who had a rough start with the parawing and now is finally found its positives. Basically he likes that he can ride a smaller board than a SUP dw board, as a 6ft board feels a lot better than a 8ft plus.
My favorite boards I use for my wing and Foil Drive downwinders are 4.7 and 4.6 so in my case using a parawing will imply using a bigger board and/or a bigger foil and I don't like either option.

The buoys show more energy than the webcam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
