20 August 2004
(machine translated in 2023) SSW was the wind forecast on the way to the Kabbelaarsbank. On the way we stopped to chat with acquaintances on the Grevelingendam. Let me get over that to go on the water. But with that slanting wind, no fun. On the side too little wind and on the middle a lot of wind and higher waves. No, quickly packed up again and to the Kabbelaarsbank, little practice for The Mission the day after.
Grevelingendam
11:30 | 0.5 hour | Wind: SW |
---|---|---|
Board: | Fanatic Bee 124 Ltd - North Shore Ultra Slalom 36cm | |
Sail: | North Warp III 6.8 - North Viper Race 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) For the first time the Warp III 6.8 rigged, was quick and easy, only for the last piece of trim you have to have a trim winder. Once on the water it turned out that the sail is fast and stable, and has a good deployment range. On the side in the lesser wind I got away quickly and in the middle the sail was quite keepable. It just wasn't an ideal direction for surfing. So quickly away to a spot with onshore wind. |
Kabbelaarsbank
14:00 | 2.5 hour | Wind: S/SW |
---|---|---|
Board: | Fanatic Skate - Lipstick Freestyle 30cm | |
Sail: | North Disco 5.9 - North Viper 75 430cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme 175-225 | |
(machine translated in 2023) So better direction wind on the babbler bench, little practice for tomorrow's Slalom race. So 2 foot straps on the Skate and nice fun practice. Unfortunately, the wind occasionally completely disappeared, but still quite nice. |
