30 April 2008
(machine translated in 2023) Queen's Day, when loading my stuff I find another hole in the bottom of my F2 SX 91, bales. All the way was baling, still had to have surf shoes, so I walked in on Roha. I shouldn't have done that. Left over an hour later with a New S-Type 104 and Naish Redline 7.6. Happy with that, by the way. Once at the entrance of the Scotsman, quickly make a sandwich and set up. Just show new S-Type to everyone. Fortunately enough wind for my S-Type. Arno was working on 6.0 on his Sonic, so S-Type with Trans-Am 6.0. Vin, difficult to choose with a new board. MFC SL 32cm was my first guess. It turned out to be small with little wind. Quickly put less trim on the Trans-am and caught my Hurricane 36cm. That was already better, could now walk height and get on the water. Wind was gusty, but could still plan most of the time. Fortunately, the wind picked up again and had enough pressure to hunt. S-Type is doing well. 36cm even seemed too big. After a while I went to the side to test the MFC SL 34cm. That went well now, could walk well height, very good even, the fin has a lot of flex, in the chop you feel that very good, very nice. Did have 3 spinouts.

(machine translated in 2023) First meters on my just bought S-Type 104. First time with MFC SL. Wind just too little, fin just too small. Quickly to the side. |

(machine translated in 2023) The Hurricane 36cm below the S-Type 104 ran well, could run altitude very easily. 36cm was actually a bit too big, but still had enough control. It takes some getting used to the foot straps, new and still stiff. Trans-Am as it should be, quickly and easily. Nice set. |

Board: | Starboard S-Type 104 - MFC SL 34cm | |
Sail: | North Trans-Am 6.0 - North Viper Wave 430cm - North X-Composite M | |
(machine translated in 2023) The SL 34 did very well with this set. Board is even calmer on the choppie water. Fin has a lot of flex and is very narrow, you notice that the fin gives at chop. But what is very strange is how easily the board still runs height. Had 2 or 3 quick spin-out. |
