Nice day, weather was much better than expected. I did go off the water because of a thunderstorm with hail

First time with the 22cm. Vin gives enough pressure for the 4.7 even with just enough wind. This fin is more flexible and gives more control, but the board rotates a little less easily than with the JP FSW fin. Unfortunately had to go off the water because of a huge thunderstorm. |

I wanted to try the Lessacher 28cm. The wind was too little to build up pressure properly. What is striking is that the fin never goes completely into spinout, you feel the fin half slip, half goes into spinout, the other half does not! |

So, that saves a lot of pressure, the Mistral is much wider than the Lessacher. The Sputnik just needs a lot more sail than the JP to run nicely. |
