(machine translated in 2023) Nice afternoon surfing, good wind for big racing sails. Dry, occasional sun and many acquaintances. Flatten in the bays and small waves outside.

(machine translated in 2023) Wind was fairly picked up and to increase the speed a bit, and the control in the waves, I tested my new Curtis 40cm. Speeds well, had no spin-out but height walking is a lot less. The wind subsided slightly again, causing me to get into plane too slowly. So back to the 43cm.. |

(machine translated in 2023) I went through it until it started to get darker and I was fairly tired. End speed: max 50.9 km/h not bad. |
