(machine translated in 2023) Unexpectedly good day on the grevelingendam.
After a long weekend off, a bit of wind was finally predicted for Sunday afternoon, but the fact that we got 20 kts was really a gift. After arriving I had a look at the NK/BK Formula, got a parking ticket and rigged: Daytona 7.3 with HTS (time to test fins) By this time the Formula boys came off the water so that I had my R-Type 9.5 atCobus (NED-818) and a C3 B+ atKenny Hunter (BEL-9).

Started with the Hurricane SRA 40cm below the HTS. Walked well, control, rest, could walk height. Wanted to test fins against each other. So the MFC SL 38cm caught, never sailed with it. No success, really too little pressure board veloor a lot of height and had no lift at all, so no speed. Quickly back to the side to grab my Drake Slalom Pro 38cm. Much better, faster but you have to sail more carefully. I was with 7.3 really at max. So 5.9 with my JP should also be possible. So quickly to the shore, set up a wave set and get back on the water. Finally with a sinker on the water again (that was 7 months ago). Wonderful sailing, a lot of jumping, gybing, playing in the waves. Until the wind fell away, then I just stopped.

13:30 0.25 hour Wind: W/NW 18/22 kts
Board: HTS Super Fast M - MFC SL 38cm
Sail: North Daytona 7.3 - North Viper 75 460cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) No success. Quick spin-outs, board/fin seemed to have no grip on the water at all. Not nice. Maybe this fin is usable with a 6.6, but with a 7.3 it doesn't work.
14:15 0.25 hour Wind: W/NW 20/24 kts
Board: HTS Super Fast M - Drake Slalom Pro 38cm
Sail: North Daytona 7.3 - North Viper 75 460cm - HPL Slalom 177-238
  (machine translated in 2023) Set went well, but sometimes a spinout. Always adjust my sailing style, then it is a super fin.
14:45 1.5 hour Wind: W/NW 20/25 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - Mistral Freestyle 25cm
Sail: North Duke 5.9 - North Gold 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Very good. Nice skewering and playing with the waves. One-handed jumps made. Gyben went like a train.
