(machine translated in 2023) End of winter break
Hey, Hey, there's surfing again. After several months of severe frosts finally 10 degrees and wind. Water was still stone cold.

Nice weather to test my newly purchased Loft Blade 8.5.
There was no more rigging. RDM mast with RDM adapter was quite a bit of a stretch. Only had the RDM adapter of my X6 with me and it did not fit nicely in my Unifiber 220-280. Furthermore, the rigging was not too bad, cambers did not give a problem. Only I had trouble finding the right trim without North VTS.

Started with my R10/13 58cm (model unknown) Didn't run super, couldn't walk enough height, fin didn't seem to work well in this minimal wind, Blade did feel nice, felt light in the hands. Went to the side for a larger fin.

First try my trusty Drake R13 60cm. That went better, but wind also decreased further. Could only just plan or not. Went to the side for an even bigger fin.

With the R14 63cm it went better, wind also increased slightly, sailing until I thought it was enough for a first time.

Wonderful to have sailed again.

  (machine translated in 2023) 60cm is already a lot better with the Blade, however, wind drops so don't hold up.

  (machine translated in 2023) In itself a fine fin, it sometimes seems to lift really nicely. Wonderfully sailed back and forth. Blade feels good. Maybe a little trimming in more wind.
