(machine translated in 2023) Some wind was predicted for the afternoon, well was certainly not a bad day, but with 8 degrees a cold one. First I was speedsurfing for 3 hours, then took the Skate, and sailed with it for another 2 hours.

14:15 1.5 hour Wind: N
Board: Fanatic Bee 124 Ltd - Select Eagle L 43cm
Sail: Arrows Dragster 8.5 - Arrows Ultimate Race 490cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) At first a little wind, but soon enough to plan. Wind was getting harder and harder, to actually too strong. On the water I practiced on the well-planted gubes, after a few attempts 2 succeeded. Not bad with an 8.5. When the wind was too strong, a few more speed runs were done in the bay, quickly 55.3 km/h on the GPS. And that even became a 59.1 km / h, and that with an 8.5 sail.
15:45 0.5 hour Wind: N/NW
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) The Thommen got up to speed well, gyben went well, but the wind had been a lot stronger for the Thommen. So I went to the side to do the Bee under the Warp.
16:15 1 hour Wind: N
Board: Fanatic Bee 124 Ltd - Hurricane SR 1 38cm
Sail: North Warp III 6.8 - North Viper Race 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240
  (machine translated in 2023) The Warp loosened up a bit and sailed slalom with the bee, gybjes went very well. Not good enough for slalom competitions yet, but with some practice I should be able to use the Warp for that.
17:15 2 hour Wind: N/NW
Board: Fanatic Skate 111 - MFC Goya Freemove 27cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North XC65 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) As quite tired but still went on the water with my Skate. Well I kept that up for another 2 hours. Wind was occasionally too little, but then some light-wind freestyle done. A carving 360 and Reverse Duck Gybe made. Made a few more attempts at vulcan, but again without success.
