Nice pass.. What do you guys prefer: pinching or footing? and which one in which conditions.
One thing that I noticed is that no one had their boards pulled up, upwind, even in the heavier air.
Actually most did - we certainly did. When it was 18 or so, we had nearly 12 inches of board up (may have been a little much).
The 20 likes to foot and go...it's not an efficient machine and relies on raw power to go uphill. Put a little weight on it and that is ever more important. You really have to work hard when you foot with the 20 but it pays off.
