Jeffcpr and I did a Newport Harbor session yesterday morning. Weather was cold, overcast. damp and a little breezy. Water was also cold. We both had our FloatPlus 1s and motored them up with Bixpy motors. Motored out of the east side of the channel against the tide towards the bait barge and driifted back in on the west side with the current . Jeff got on the board early with a nice spotty but then it shut off. He got another one later by the docks on the west side but I got the big 🦨. Had a great time still. Motors worked great until they plugged up with drifting grass. Stopped off at the baby beach to clear the chunks out and finished the day ok. There is a different screen from Bixpy to possibly help with that so I ordered it and we’ll see how it goes.
Last trip out I tried my wheel set from Float Plus and they didn’t do too well on the sand so I modified them and put a pneumatic tire on there and it worked pretty good yesterday so I can load up at the truck and wheel to the launch site instead of backpack straps or multiple trips. Id have to say it was a success even though it’s not perfect. Back up hill fully loaded in the sand was tough .but that might be a fitness issue not equipment .
