@Caitmaxine For somebody to have a mortgage on one of these homes, they would need to have home insurance. Now, what underwriter in their right mind is going to insure a house built in this are? How does that work?
Why is it perfectly OK in sports to have team members spending some time on a bench, but it's not OK in software development to have team members spending some time on a bench?
#wingfoil diary. #8 @ LRYC - making real ground upwind now. Getting back downwind turns out to be sketchy af as the wing backwinds in the lulls. Big shoutout to the folks who tell me theyโve read these logs. Thanks for not interacting, helps to keep me grounded. ๐ป
#wingfoil diary. #7 @ LRYC - new top speed of 16.1kts immediately followed by rapid unplanned deceleration. ๐ค๐ steady breeze makes everything 100x easier. Faster and steadier standing up and getting on foil. Need to practice gybes on grass. No real progress there.
#wingfoil diary. #6 @ LRYC -Tried @waterspeedapp ๐! Don't have a fancy watch, just stuck my phone in my wetsuit sleeve. Fcast 12/17kts. Lulls of ~0 otw. Huge progress. Controlled foil on both tacks. Next up: Gybes. Dying for an opportunity to bear off downwind for a bit.
Flexibility: Locations you can launch and recover from. Conditions you can go out in.
Storage: How much space does the equipment take up in your shed/van. Less is better.
#wingfoil diary. Session 5 @ LRYC - Hi GM ๐! It's all coming together now! Good long controlled flights on port. Stbd wobbly but getting there! Kept upwind and recovered from launch spot ๐ Fcast 18/30kts. 5/20 otw. Getting better at managing lulls and gusts. Balance++. Stoked๐
#wingfoil diary. Session 4 @ LRYC - Flew for a good stretch on port, what a buzz! Stbd tack not so strong or balanced. Still at the high-effort-low-reward stage but great progress. fcast of 15-20kts. <10/20 on the water. Super gusty.
