Strong wind
Another wind, more than yesterday. Clear blue sky again. Increasing winds predicted.
After arriving around 10:30 sit and read a book, eat it and set it up around 12:30.
Started with the Daytona 7.3. Too big. Went to the side for my crossride 6.0. But still opted for the Warp 6.3. Good training? This one was actually too big. I had grabbed my Hip Trapeze, so the trapeze strings on the X9 were too long. So the North Gold just set it up. Still a bit of sailing. But eventually switched to JP FSW 84 with Ice 4.7. Still wonderfully sailed and jumped.
With 12 degrees still on the cold side, especially when the wind started to blow harder and harder.
It has become clear that the Daytona 6.6 can go. I also get a better feeling that I dare to go to a RAM F9 or F10. Maybe buy the RAM F10 7.0 and 8.0 after all. I've learned so much with gyben that I'll dare to do that next year, I think now.

Ran well, SL7 didn't even feel too big. Amazingly good fin. My new slalom set? 7.3 was on the big side. |

Wow, what a gear. Die Warp wants to move forward. iSonic was in the higher chop though on the big side. Deboichet felt slightly stiff, but fast, no spinouts. |

Board: | Starboard iSonic 115 - Hurricane SRA 34cm | |
Sail: | North Warp F2006 6.3 - North Viper Wave 430cm - North X-Composite M | |
(machine translated in 2023) The SRA felt bigger than the Deboichet, but not much, but still a little stiffer, even if it was just a little. |

Sail: | North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(a) 400cm - Neil Pryde X6 145-195 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Wonderfully sailing, jumping, sometimes very high, gyben deserved some adjustment, but then went super smooth again. |
