Board: | Starboard iSonic 127 - Sonntag SL-P 51cm | |
Sail: | North S-Type 9.5 - North Platinum(13) 490cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) In the beginning minimal, could plan with some pumps. Bit searched for good trim. Especially trapeze line length I'm not sure yet. Longer is finer, better pressure distribution, but then I lose more in the wind holes. The SL-P did better this time, there was wind now. But for minimal circumstances, he is still on the small side. But once the wind blows, it runs like a spear. Board can be sailed nicely on the rails, board nicely loose. Then the speed is immediately good. The S-Type 9.5 is very stable. In gusts, the pressure point remains very stable and you do not suffer from more pressure on the mast hand, compared to the Daytona 9.0, the S-Type feels smaller. The S-Type can be kept for a long time, could then switch to a 6.6 (although that was minimal.) |

First time with the S10 37cm, and first time with the Natural 6.6 on the iSonic 101. What was fairly flat, so I chose the iSonic instead of the Syncro. The S10 does what you expect from an S10, lift, control, no spin-outs. In the beginning the fin was perhaps on the small side, but at the end, when the 6.6 was really too big, the 37cm was certainly too big. Been reasonably busy finding the right trim, boom higher, mast foot to the rear. The S10 makes the board run very flat, and I wanted some more lift. At the end, the Freerace could keep up with it all. There were no more slalom boys on the water, so I couldn't compare to that. Nice set, long to keep, especially once you are up to speed. Hostages, if you're well powered and is a breeze. Bii less wind you miss out on power at the end of the jib. |
