(machine translated in 2023) Finally USM. To a ride through the rain finally on Horst. After registering, rigging and the skippers meeting, quickly get on the water with the GPS. What a mountain of speed surfers, 62 men with a GPS. Everywhere you saw sail downwind flying. Unfortunately too little wind for really big records, but for many people still a day to sharpen a PR.

Strand Horst

Present: Hans (Hansie), Jurjen, Martijn (Volvosurfer)

12:00 2.5 hour Wind: SW
Board: F2 Thommen 275 - North Shore Ultra Slalom 34cm
Sail: North Warp III 6.8 - North Viper Race 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) The first rakes went quite nicely, with a gust of hard downwind and then trying to run altitude again, but the latter went more and more difficult because it was only just enough wind to keep the Thommen 275 at speed, so just go to the side for a larger fin and a sandwich. Also, my foot straps were very far forward, so this one was a bit of resistance and better adjusted, because it made my feet quite sore.
15:00 2 hour Wind: SW
Board: F2 Thommen 275 - North Shore Ultra Slalom 36cm
Sail: North Warp III 6.8 - North Viper Race 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) Just a size larger fin. And with the foot straps for something crooked and all a bit further back. The wind slowly eased, but we were still able to make a few nice runs. With the boom very high, it is good speed surfing, but upwind it is not really super, I had to walk back a lot. Would have been better off putting my boom down.
