(machine translated in 2023) Afternoon Freeride and Speed
The 4th day in 6 days, and that also includes a competition. So it's time to take it easy again. First I slept in and then went to the Grevelingendam, wind a little too south so I went to the boat ramp. On the boat ramp there were more people.

Everyone was rigging 4.7, so I just joined in.

JP FSW 84II with Ice 4.7 and WaveWarriow 22cm
On the water it was really chaos, low but very steep chop. In front of and behind the island no tired wave to find, just a grater. But so low that you could agree fairly hard. On the other side of the island, in front of the harbor entrance of Herkingen it was a completely different story, wind was a lot stronger there with 1 meter high swell and waves, nice for a bit of wave riding and jumping.

Speed: 60.4 km/h
Since the wind was strong and we were always sailing to Herkingen, I put on the GPS and made a few raks behind the dam. After a few rakes, the display showed 60.4 km/h. That was nice, time to go jumping and freeriding again.

Nice sailing, short walk pushing to get some speeds out of it, but otherwise a bit of taking it easy, a bit of a breath of fresh air and enjoying.

  (machine translated in 2023) Set felt good and familiar. Broke my downhaul line again, luckily in the shallows, so could easily reattach it. Wind was actually too strong for this sail, but also not constant enough for a smaller sail.
