(machine translated in 2023) Another speed session at Herkingen:
Wind seemed strong when I arrived, there where more people were rigging 6.0, so I also caught 5.8 and the Missile. Walking towards the water I hardly feel wind blowing against my set. Wind away.
Tried it with the Missile. But it's really too small. So back to the side for something bigger

First tried with only the S-Type under 5.8 and no bigger sail. That went a lot better. Unfortunately, in the beginning the wind was spacious to make runs and the wind too little to go really fast. Later the wind quickly turned to perpendicular to the dam, now the wind was not wide enough again. I struggled to reach 57 km/h. After some hesitation, I decided to get the 6.6.

With the Daytona quickly back on the water. Now enough pressure to accelerate well. Wind also seemed to increase slightly. I was soon over 60 and got to 63.2 km/h on the GPS. Wind increased further so but went to take the Mistile.

With the Missile I was away in no time, went much easier than expected. The Missile can be sailed really easily with a 6.6. The SRA 29cm was really big enough. Made some runs, enjoyed myself again, what a nice board the Missile is to sail. Relaxed and very fast. No PR this time, the wind was too little and the angle was not wide enough anymore. But eight with 64.8 km/h I was also very satisfied.

Herkingen

12:00 0.25 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: F2 Missile - Hurricane SRA 29cm
Sail: North Warp F2005 5.8 - North Viper Wave 430cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) During rigging a lot of wind, but when I walked to the water the wind was completely gone. After 1 piece of planing and the rest bobbing and walking bigger packed.
12:30 1 hour Wind: SW 16/28 kts
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - Hurricane SRA 32cm
Sail: North Warp F2005 5.8 - North Viper Wave 430cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran well, 32cm SRA was even on the large side, I could walk height very easily. On the other hand, the wind was so little that I was often just cruising, no speed conditions. After some hesitation, I decided to go bigger.
13:45 1.5 hour Wind: W/SW 20/28 kts
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - Hurricane SRA 32cm
Sail: North Daytona 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) Set went well. With the 6.6 enough pressure to accelerate considerably. The 32cm Hurricane SRA works very well, no spinouts. I think I can still get away with even a 30cm. The pressure became so great that I went to get the Missile anyway. I have to be careful to make my runs long enough. My max 2sec is much higher than my 10 seconds.
15:30 1 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: F2 Missile - Hurricane SRA 29cm
Sail: North Daytona 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran very well. I didn't expect the Missile to handle a 6.6 so well. The 6.6 didn't feel too big for the Missile at all. The SRA 29 could also handle it very well. I don't think much smaller will be possible with 6.6. But bigger is certainly not necessary. Speed was good. At the end I got too tired and I just stopped.
