(machine translated in 2023) First hour of Formula
Prediction wasn't great, but wanted to rig up my 11.0 and give it a try.
Rigging was easy. Rotation cambers was almost perfect, only without wind the 2nd camber just didn't want to turn around, but with a gust of wind it went well.
Wind was so light that it was really difficult to plan, the board could pump into plane, but to plan on afterwards was very disappointing.
Was also the only one with Formula on the water, so had no one to measure with. Must have been largely my lack of experience/technique. I was the only one who could plan a bit.

First time with my own formula set. Trapeze strings were too short, wind was very light. Could often only just plan with some pumps, sometimes it was pumping and then immediately falling silent again. Was educational, still needs a lot of practice. Fin felt good, boom nice and solid. Foot straps looked good, now even more wind and more practice. |
