Bad day
Cold, off-shore wind and a broken boom.

More wind was forecast today than yesterday. But on the side, it didn't seem to blow. Also on the Veerse Meer this time no foam head can be found. So the 9.5 rigged with the GT85. Bobbing away from the side, finally a flurry. Planing, beyond the water slope more wind, even more. Okay, that's hard. Outhaul at max. Still big. Then smaller. 7.3 should certainly be possible.
7.3 rigged with the Unifiber 180-240 for the first time. That was short. After the gybe immediately a crack and end boom. Bales, lying in the cold water for 10 minutes to turn the boom over and reattach it properly, then carefully towards the shore. Oh, yes, that's why offshore winds are not recommended. Took 15 minutes to get to the side, completely broken. Well some recovering decided to go back on the water. Wind had increased even further and was actually just too strong for the 7.3. After a while I got too cold again and I just stopped.

Baal day.

Schotsman Surfspot

13:30 0.5 hour Wind: N/NE
Board: AHD GT 85 - Deboichet R12 M 64cm
Sail: North R-Type 9.5 - North Viper 75 490cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280
  (machine translated in 2023) Set good to sail, GT85 didn't feel too big, but 9.5 was too big to sail.
Certainly on the other side there was a lot of wind.
14:15 0.75 hour Wind: N/NE
Board: Starboard iSonic 115 - Select SL7 39cm
Sail: North Daytona 7.3 - North Viper 75 460cm - Unifiber Slalom 180-240
  (machine translated in 2023) After some bobbing, quickly leave. On the other side a gybe, hooking in, crack: boom broken.
First time I used this boom, the risk of a 2nd hand boom.
16:45 0.5 hour Wind: N/NE
Board: Starboard iSonic 115 - Select SL7 39cm
Sail: North Daytona 7.3 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran pretty well. Control also pretty good. 7.3 was just too big on the other side. Waves up to more than half a meter and super style. Could easily sail with a waveset on the other side, but the off-shore wind did not do.
