26 June 2007
(machine translated in 2023) One of the most beautiful surfing days ever. Water temperature higher than air temperature. Fairly constant strong winds, beautiful spring waves and many acquaintances.

Present: Arno (Mr. Q), Bart, Frank, Hans (Hansie), Jurjen, Martijn (Volvosurfer)15:15 | 1 hour | Wind: W/NW 25/35 kts |

Board: | JP Wave 255 - Fin's Sideshore 8.50" | |
Sail: | North Voodoo 3.7 - North XC60 380cm - North Progression Comp A+ | |
(machine translated in 2023) The 3.7 was actually just too small, in the gusts it went well. This was the first time with the 3.7 sailed at minimum trim. Fin gives just too little pressure in these kinds of conditions to be able to jump properly, so I changed the fin. |
16:30 | 0.5 hour | Wind: W/NW 20/35 kts |

Board: | JP Wave 255 - MFC Goya Wave 21cm | |
Sail: | North Voodoo 3.7 - North XC60 380cm - North Progression Comp A+ | |
(machine translated in 2023) The Goya Wave is an On-Shore fin and therefore much more pressured. Went much better. All the wind also became less, after 2 times bobbing I went to the side to grab a bigger sail and a bite to eat. |
17:45 | 2.25 hour | Wind: W/NW 20/35 kts |

Board: | JP Wave 255 - MFC Goya Wave 21cm | |
Sail: | North Instinct 4.7 - North XC60 400cm - North Progression Comp A+ | |
(machine translated in 2023) The Goya even went well with the 4.7. Wind was often hard for the 4.7 but never really overpowered. But thick against max. But no less jumped. Frank was there now and had fun together. |
