Nice sea day, test Evo 80 and Chinook pro 1 boom
Finally the chance to test my Starboard Evo 80 and Chinook Pro 1 Alloy. There was a nice W/NW wind with rain predicted, so nice on-shore on the Brouwersdam.
I was very curious how the Chinook Pro 1 Alloy boom would be on the water
On arrival it was already raining, but there was wind. Just asked what Jurjen was sailing with.

Evo 80 and Ice 5.3
That took some getting used to, new boom, totally different board. little wind, mostly just planing. But other times there was wind. Board sails on straights like my Skate 111. But on the waves you really notice a difference. That's great. Unfortunately, the wind subsided again.
Time for a sandwich and thinking to rig.

Freewave 104 and Ice 5.3
After some hesitation the Freewave 104 was caught and no other sail. The Freewave should plan a lot easier, if that is still too little I can always take my 5.3. Planing went well, golf driving was less than the Evo, but certainly tasty. Only in a few hard gusts did I notice that the board was large.

All in all, nice to be able to test today. Wind was very gusty, it rained a lot but we sailed at sea again.

13:00 0.75 hour Wind: NW
Board: Starboard Evo 80 - MFC Goya Wave 22cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Chinook Pro 1 Alloy 165-227
  (machine translated in 2023) First time on the Evo, went well, but there were too few really nice waves to make good use of the Evo.
Board doesn't really run well on choppy water on a straight line, but that's not what it's made for. If you come across a wave and you can let it drive off there, everything suddenly feels good.
14:15 3 hour Wind: NW
Board: Fanatic Freewave 104 - Select X1 Wave 26,5cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Chinook Pro 1 Alloy 165-227
  (machine translated in 2023) First time with the 5.3 on the Freewave 104. Was not disappointing, the Freewave did not feel very big at all, although it was perhaps a bit too much in the hardest gusts, but in the wind holes ideal for planning nice and early. Playing golf was also a lot of fun.
