18 September 2007
(machine translated in 2023) Nice afternoon. Unfortunately, the wind stopped early. Nice sun, man or 10 on the water. I had planned to be present 2.5 hours before high tide to fully enjoy the waves. I was on time, but the wind started to decrease earlier than expected. First half hour with JP FSW 84 and Ice 5.3 was really super cool, a lot of golf riding and ripping. Until the wind subsided. Tried another half hour with the 84 liters. Sometimes it went well, but usually too little. Hesitation to rig 5.9 or 6.7. But first I grabbed the Skate 111. That went pretty well so I just kept going. Still being able to ride a wave reasonably, that Skate is really top in light weather. At 18:00 I really couldn't plan with the 5.3 anymore, so I stopped

---|---|---|
Board: | JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - Mistral Freestyle 23cm | |
Sail: | North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Top combo! The 23cm does very well in onshore. The 5.3 is nice and light, well balanced. Good waves can rip. Unfortunately, the wind subsided. |
16:30 | 1.5 hour | Wind: SW |

Board: | Fanatic Skate 111 - Mistral Freestyle 25cm | |
Sail: | North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195 | |
(machine translated in 2023) That Ice 5.3 with Skate 111 goes very well, also in the waves. It does take effort to rip waves, is a big boat after all. Plan very early. Ran well, but actually I needed a bigger sail. |
