Well this was an interesting day. The spot Blackstrap Lake, this is kind of my home spot when I was living in Saskatoon many years ago. I haven't been here in many many years. So to be here and this time on a foil, I was interested to see what it was like. Well the first thing is I was surprised how gusty it is. It was windier then I thought it would be and I was on my 6.0 and 1000 front wing. The really cool thing is one of the crew from back then was out as well. He is just getting into winging. It was fun ripping around, staying out of the weedy area. The water is starting to get cold but the air temp was warm 27C. What really struck me the most was how gusty and shifty the wind is. How did we every have a good time in windsurfers at this spot? on a foil you can glide through most of the lulls. Again so much more fun on the foil. There were 3 of us out making the most of it. Even some small chop to play on, was a really fun day. I could have been on a smaller foil for sure and should asked a few more questions. What a great day, and it has been a while since I have been out with others on the water. The weather is getting cooler so don't know when the next session will be. A warmer wetsuit will be in order :)
