Flat water paddling the foils I downwind - large to small. Tonight felt like a high gravity day, but warm temps and no wind are a perfect excuse to give the paddle-ups some love - and some tips to the newer paddle homies.
The 91 needs some fresher arms, and I'd also like to play with some lower aspect surf foils someday...
This was done is freshwater (Lake Erie) which is 60.8 deg F. The temp matters because it affects water viscosity (which increases as things get cold). I find it easier to paddle up in warmer water.
This spot had some patches of long seaweed about a mast length underwater, I think for several of the paddle-ups I was touching the top of the weeds, but it only matters for the smaller foils - the larger foils are easier to muscle up.
Thanks for filming Nathalie!
