Huuuuge thanks to Wind Surf 'n' Snow (Sam and Rob) for the foil demo day specially after Thursday's horrible news. Shame the wind wasn't better, maybe next time!!!.
Here are some pics of the day

Yeah big thanks to Sam and WindSurfnSnow for running the demo after the horror week they have had.
Congrats to quite a few who had their first flights. The Naish Hover 142 and WS1 foil with a Lift 6.4 sail was foiling in the hands of first time foilers - here is the Long Reef anemometer data for the period we were on the water (yes there may have been stronger gusts on the Lake). But it gives you an idea of the light wind sailing applications.

The photo with the LP strut looks like a Starboard Race fuselage. Looks like somebody has done some nice mod work.

Since I live in the northern hemisphere, I need to ask, what lake is this?

Thanks

No modifications off the shelf carbon foil, has wing covers on.

Good to hear Segler. Bit warm today, 32 degrees Celsius at the beach and around 41 out west.
It was a fun day and a great community last Saturday.

Are you going to do another Demo day?. I missed this one!

Hi Ben,
yes it's likely. Sam and WindSurfnSnow are keen to do it again.
Keep an eye on their WSNS FaceBook page for announcements.
This weekend doesn't look suitable - but possibly the following one if the forecast looks like a reasonable NE.
regards

Yes Ben, Ive been foiling about a year. Frustrated with the lack of wavesailable NorEasters at Longy these days and lack of time on the water. I bought the Naish Hover 122 and windsurf foil and simply put my wave sails straight on that. Ive had a really good experience on it as a light wind setup. Ive foiled a lot of NEasters at Narrabeen Lake (with a really great regular crew of sailors there) and have started to foil in the ocean now a bit too. When the wind picks up I go wavesailing. RJ

That last pic, is that a baby hammerhead ?

yep as Larko said a small hammerhead off Collaroy/Narrabeen not in the lake. A group of 4 just cruising north outside the break wanted to look at the foil I think. I suspect there are only bull sharks in the Lake (... he says mostly joking)

No, it's a new bread of "Foil-Shark" !
