Windfoil, shore break & gusts to 30kns

Jan 26th 2023 at Tokerau Beach Far North NZ with Garth from Kerikeri. Back mounted Insta360 One X2 camera.
Left in footage of getting out through the shore break & back in. I drag the gear behind me & jump & put it over my head when a wave comes. On the way in, high ride a wave to avoid grounding & jump off in hopefully waist deep water. Usually works.
The shore break wasn't too bad on this day but I've been at Tokerau when the waves were too high & big to get far enough out without the foil grounding in between the waves.

Gear:
Me - SB Foil X 105 - 183x62cm, Goya Guru X pro 2.7m², Balz Pro 799, 95 mast, 900 fuse, 425 stab.
Garth - Old school Taranaki 75l wave board & Neil Pryde 4.2m²
Others - 2 trainee kiters on 5 & 6m² & an experienced winger on 2.5m²

Conditions - Karikari now casting showed 30 knots gusting to 40. Probably a max of 30kn on the water at Tokerau but gusty at times. Swell disappointingly small after 3 days of E.
2.7m² was definitely the right sail size and I was sheeting out & feathering often when on the wind.
