Nice slalom day at the Punt: New PR on the Nautical Mile
Nice winds were predicted for slalom, wind would be South to South-East.
Had to pick up another boom (AL360 E3 Carbon 210-270), so agreed on the Punt.
It was busy on the point, a lot of Belgians. After looking at and buying the boom, we chatted for a while.
Wind was clearly good for my Warp 7.0. Nice weather to test well.

iSonic 111 with Deboichet SL2 38cm and North Warp F2009 7.0
Started on the safe side with the SL2. Speed was good, but the chop was still steep and fierce.
I had walked quite a height to get to hompelvoet, but the wind turned out to be too strong to sail behind the dams. So spacious (very spacious) back to the Punt. That was due to high chop of sometimes almost 1 meter. But a big PR improvement on the Nautical Mile: 47.31 km / h. Better conditions for the SL4: time to test.

iSonic 111 with Deboichet SL4 38cm and North Warp F2009 7.0
With the SL4 it was a lot quieter. Only when the wind subsided and the pressure on the fin decreased did I almost always get a spinout.
Sail if there was enough pressure on the fin it ran nice and quiet and very fast.

iSonic 111 with Deboichet SL2 42cm and North Warp F2009 7.0
Since the wind was usually on the soft side for the SL4 the SL2 42cm but a tried. That was a lot easier: no more spinouts.

Was a nice day. I like the speed and control of the Warp 7.0. But the gybing in the thick chop still didn't go great.
