(machine translated in 2021) New record late in the year surfing, I had never surfed after Christmas. Nice weather, 8 to 9 degrees, first sun later clouds, no rain.

Board: | Fanatic Skate - Lipstick Freestyle 30cm | |
Sail: | Arrows Craze 6.2 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme M | |
(machine translated in 2023) A brief sail, immediately back to the shore, greeting Frank and grabbing a gutter fin. Wind was only just enough to plan and we also had to walk reasonably high to get out of the shallows. |

Board: | Fanatic Skate - MFC Freestyle 32cm | |
Sail: | Arrows Craze 6.2 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme M | |
(machine translated in 2023) Nice sailing. Not really good waves to jump, but hops made. Wind in the fairway was a few knots more than on the shore. It's cool to fly downwind from the deep into the bay. |

Sail: | North Rave 5.7 - North Sting 30 430cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme M | |
(machine translated in 2023) Wind had picked up so much that my 6.2 became too big. Levon went to rig to a smaller sail so I could borrow his Rave 5.7 with String 30 mast. That Rave is a good sail, but a 30% Carbon Mast feels weak if you are better used to it. |
