15 August 2007
(machine translated in 2023) What was supposed to be a super wave day ended up disappointing. Just before leaving work, the parts for my HybridWave arrived, nicely on time. I did stand on the Hybrid, but the wind was too weak. And then also too south for the Brouwersdam, then the wind becomes gusty.

(machine translated in 2023) First time with the HybridWave. Wind had unfortunately died down, everyone was already coming to the side, hoping that the wind would come back and to test the HybridWave. Being able to plan a few pieces on my toes. 1x when coming back to the side and being able to catch 1 wave, at least, I kicked the board all the way under me, that's how fast it turned. I am very curious about this board in a little more wind with a 5.3. I'm just afraid that overpowered might be a tricky beast. The 23cm fin is definitely too small for a 5.9. |

(machine translated in 2023) Quickly to the side to grab the Skate, a little less trim on the Duke and go. 50% can plan, well more than anyone on the water. But yes I also had my Skate.. Enjoyed myself quite a bit, but I didn't have much use for the waves. A mediocre session, but certainly not bad for this wind. |
