25 October 2003
(machine translated in 2021) Nice day, water is not cold yet, and a tired constant wind.

Sail: | Arrows Tomahawk 6.8 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Wind didn't come on until we were already there, so I caught my 6.8. When I wanted to go sailing, it was already big. Max trimmed it was keepable, but no control over the shelf, so I went with my 34cm to try. |

(machine translated in 2023) With my 34cm, my 6.8 was very easy to hold. Went really super hard. Levon and Hans with wave/freeride gear couldn't keep up. Even in the waves of the grevelingen, the board was still very easy to keep on the water. |

(machine translated in 2023) The wind had increased a little further, so that the 6.8 really started to get too big. Time to test my 'new' 5.8 Flow. My Thommen wasn't ready yet, so I went on the Skate. I always thought my Skate was slow, but those are my Freemove/style sails. With this sail the Skate goes like a rocket, like a Slalom / Racing board. Levon and Hans couldn't come again, even though I didn't really have any pressure in my sail. Even Gyben went very easily. This is another very nice kick. |
