Cold day, wind less than yesterday, but the temperature is also much lower. Wind force 7 was forecast again, but fortunately 15 to 20 knots of wind on arrival. Were a lot of people from forum.windsurfing.nl, so very cozy. Wind was also less gusty than yesterday.

During the gusts, the 5.4 was large, so trimmed to max. Wonderful dangers. Jumping, riding golf. After an hour and a half, the 5.4 became very large, even on max trim. So let's try again with my Naish 8'5". |

That was very nice, trimmed the Slide to max and with the Naish super nice waveriding and jumping. The Slide also seems to hold up better on the Naish 8'5".
The wind seemed to pick up even further. So let's go smaller. |

Super tasty the Dr.X was immediately well trimmed. Job goes really great.
By the time I get to the other side, the wind has subsided. Barely planeing, especially bobbing back to the side.

The wind had subsided quite a bit, almost everyone on the side. Fortunately, I still had this set on the side. Just practiced gijbes. Jumping was no longer possible, waves were gone. Switch Stance gybes counterclockwise are clearly going worse. |
