(machine translated in 2023) Wonderful day at the Punt, hadn't been there in a long time. There was hardly any wind in the beginning, but it would still come. So first chat and eat happie. When the rain stopped and the wind increased slightly, they started rigging. The 5.9 rigged, but the wind seemed to be a bit disappointing, so also the 6.7 but rigged. Put this on my S-Type because the water was quite flat. In the beginning the wind was a bit less, especially at the side, later the wind increased and the 6.7 was too big, but the S-Type still ran quietly.
Fortunately, I realized today that I had a waterproof camera in my cart. I took this one on the water. I shot a roll full, although sometimes at the risk of my own life, flipped surfing to take a picture of a surfer behind you can sometimes result in reasonable crashes.

Wind increased further, time for a smaller sail. 5.9 was already ready, so I put it directly on the S-Type, test whether it was large enough and then immediately switch to the FreestyleWave. S-Type ran nicely, fast and controlled, but jumping is a lot less.

With the Freestylewave it went great in the beginning, jumping and playing a bit of golf. After an hour the wind started to decrease and sometimes it was even bobbing.
Wind continued to decrease and I was fortunately able to plan the last rake back. But everyone else was bobbing. On the side, I quickly saw that it was the end of the day.

13:30 2.5 hour Wind: S/SW
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - MFC SL 34cm
Sail: North Duke 6.7 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Set went well, in the beginning more just nice, sometimes the wind fell away a bit, but on the back it was enough. The SL 34cm went very well with the 6.7. Later the wind increased and it was wonderful to tear and sometimes jump. When the gusts became too hard, the sail was difficult to control, but the S-Type still ran wonderfully quietly.
16:15 0.5 hour Wind: SW
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - MFC SL 30cm
Sail: North Duke 5.9 - North Gold 430cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran nicely, S-Type didn't feel too big and control was good.
16:45 1.5 hour Wind: SW
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - Mistral Freestyle 23cm
Sail: North Duke 5.9 - North Gold 430cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran well again, sometimes even too big in the beginning. Later the wind subsided and it was sometimes even difficult to plan.
