(machine translated in 2023)
First time with the Epic 520 mast in the Daytona. Mast seems a bit more flextop than North, Belly in the sail seems deeper and loose-leech a little bigger. There is a lot of power in everyone. Pump delicious. Bit searched for good trim. The Boss 47cm seemed a bit on the small side, could always sail half wind, but running high didn't really want to run, and pumping against the 47cm was not really possible. |

Board: | Starboard iSonic 127 - C3 D2 52cm | |
Sail: | North Daytona 9.0 - Epic Race 520cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) First time with the shortened C3 D2 52cm (was once my old 60cm). Fin is sometimes a little slipery. But you can kick it hard and pump wonderfully. Vin doesn't feel too big even in the gusts, which surprised me a bit. Never really a spin-out, but sometimes he does shoot away a bit. Certainly wasn't disappointing. Due to planned jibes, the wind was also getting better. |

Board: | Starboard iSonic 127 - Select R05 50cm | |
Sail: | North Daytona 9.0 - Epic Race 520cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) First time with the Select Custom 50cm. Was not disappointing at all, very predictable on the water, nice pressure build-up, never spin-out. Not as nice lift as a soft-tip fin, but felt solid and reliable. Wind increased making the 9.0 really big, trim maximum. |
