(machine translated in 2021) Wind a little stronger today, but also more gusty and with the wind from the south a mean chop on the veerse lake. Today we had Chief visiting.

(machine translated in 2023) Again choosing speed, Chief went to test his new RS4, so yes then you still want to participate. Only I should have chosen bigger, only in the gusts it ran very fast. Also tried to sail on the Skate 2 foot straps behind, that goes very well for speed / slalom. 52.4 km/h achieved... |

(machine translated in 2023) The wind and the chop on the water were not really great for Speed so I opted for play again. So rigged up the 5.4 and started playing nicely... Was very disappointing, wind often collapsed and in the gusts often too much wind. |

(machine translated in 2023) Just go get a larger fin to be able to plan between the gusts. The planing went better, also back to 1 foot strap behind also helps. |
