(machine translated in 2023) Wind was sometimes on the hard side, had the Natural trimmed over max. Keeps a lot of pressure for speed. Could always plan, sometimes it was too big itself. The SRX 38 does very well. Never spinouts, can have a lot of pressure, even at low speed. Was afraid that the fin would be too big, but that wasn't too bad, it felt big, but not too big. In the hard gusts there had to be a lot of pressure on my back foot, but board always remained controllable. Jumping went well with the set. Gijpen went very well, almost always by planing. Relaxed sailing, but also relatively fast, could keep up with a lot of slalom guys. |

Sail: | North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Dynafiber Blacklunar 155-205 | |
(machine translated in 2023) The first few minutes it was great, then the wind quickly subsided again. I kind of expected the board to be too big, but that wasn't too bad. Vin felt a bit small, only good in the gusts. For a moment it went very well, then the wind subsided again, right back to 6.6 |

(machine translated in 2023) Wind again strong, but doable. Set ran nicely, height walking went, but not great. Jerking was easy. Speed good, not super high. Made some nice jumps. Nice and relaxed sailing. |
