(machine translated in 2023) Great day out with old friends

Unexpected day of surfing, rain all day but nice wind.
Finally sailed again with Frank and Dirk Jan: Was great again!

Late
Forecast was not so good the days before, storm in the night from Saturday to Sunday and then from 11:00 no more wind. So don't bother to go. I don't set an alarm and get out of bed at 10:00. Ruggy breakfast, no rush. I come across my phone with a message from Frank. There's no wind, is there? Internet on: Windguru forecasts wind until 17:00. Okay, so off you go. Pack up and go, just before 13:00 at the water and at 13:15 I was already in the water.

When I arrived Erik had just stopped. He said everyone was enjoying themselves with 4.7, no time wasted. Suit donned and Ice 4.7 with Freestylewave rigged. When I wanted to get on, Dirk, Jan and Frank just came to the side for a bite to eat. Giving hands and sailing, I was way too late. Set ran nicely, wind was so south that I even had to walk high to be able to go back, to the waves. Winds ranged reasonably between enough to plan to against overpowered. Frank and Dirk Jan soon joined me to make rakes together. Jumping and golfing every now and then. Oh how I missed this on the water. With Frank it is so much fun to sail together. Waiting for each other, back and forth in front and jumping high. Challenging each other. I a duckgybe, Frank follows with an even nicer one. Frank jumps ahead, falls, close to Frank golf, jump high and DO land. Fat!
The waves where in front of the parking space nice, clean but low. On the back, they were higher, steeper and more chaotic. Sometimes brilliant scandals. Jumped a lot.
I found the RON too stiff for these waves. Went to the side for the Wave Warrior 24cm. Frank and Dirk Jan followed to stop, they were already 3 hours before I came. Quick fin change and get back on the water. With the Wave Warrior, the board runs much better and quieter. Being able to make some nice rakes with a lot of jumps. Some very high. Winds slowly began to subside and became more southerly. Walking at height also became more difficult. When I barely got into plane anymore, I just stopped. Would have been nice.

De Punt

Present: Dirk Jan, Frank

13:15 1.5 hour Wind: S/SW 24/30 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - MFC RON 20cm
Sail: North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(a) 400cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195
  (machine translated in 2023) Set went well. Only in the high chaotic waves on the back was the RON too stiff and direct, which sometimes made it difficult to keep the board on the water. In nicer waves super radical and short turning. I still love the X6 boom.
14:45 1.25 hour Wind: S 16/30 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - Select Wave Warrior 24cm
Sail: North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(a) 400cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195
  (machine translated in 2023) When the wind was still strong, the 22cm Wave Warrior was finer than the RON, board runs more calmly and goes more predictable when golfing, more elongated turns than short and slashy.
