(machine translated in 2023) First time with the Quad with real wind, 5.3 on the big side. In the beginning ff get used to it. Board runs differently. Do not put pressure on the fins when the board comes out of the water by few cm. Often it runs wonderfully, steers as if on a rail. Runs super height, but sometimes it feels very strange and you have no opportunity to make a jump. Angle board to the water does not seem to be correct, you walk height, but board points even higher. With a normal board this is not possible, direct spinout. Board does give a lot of rest. |

(machine translated in 2023) So, that felt familiar, easier jumping, more controlled waves riding just not as radical as the Quad can. |
