Board: | Starboard iSonic 117 - Boss 4.32 S- 44cm | |
Sail: | North Warp F2010 8.0 - North Platinum(09) 460cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) First time with the Warp F2010 8.0. Fin too small for so little wind. In the hard gusts it immediately went well. Unfortunately, there were few gusts. Sail rotates well, although I will test without a spacer. |

Board: | JP Super Lightwind 90 - Deboichet R10 M+ 56cm | |
Sail: | North S-Type 9.5 - North Platinum(13) 490cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) First time on the JP Super Lightwind 90. What a battleship. Felt great and like a formula board. Board didn't want to walk well either, seemed to stick. I could walk tall, fin didn't feel too small under my feet. Mast foot back, boom up, helped a little, but didn't stay well. Board also suffered a lot from the chop. Wind also decreased somewhat. Time to test a larger fin. Sail also didn't feel right, wasn't stable, downhaul was too far, well before the VTS max dot. On the side the trim somewhat reduced. |

Board: | JP Super Lightwind 90 - C3 D2 65cm | |
Sail: | North S-Type 9.5 - North Platinum(13) 490cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Ran nicely, much better than with the 56cm, which clearly had too little lift. The 65 ran well, nice and loose, certainly not too big. Because of the elevator, the board ran nicely over the chop, much quieter. Board ran well height. Sail felt, with the less downhaul a lot more stable. In the wind holes I had a hard time getting into plane, bit of wind it worked well right away. Board still feels big, jibing is not easy, tail is very wide. |

Board: | JP Super Lightwind 90 - Busca Fr R35 70cm | |
Sail: | North S-Type 9.5 - North Platinum(13) 490cm - Unifiber Freerace/Slalom 220-280 | |
(machine translated in 2023) First time with the 70cm under the SLW90. It works, didn't expect it, board runs well, runs well height. Downwind was a bit scary to me. Unfortunately, the wind decreased further and does not work in plane pumping. Have the feeling that the 70cm is so big that you have to pump very carefully because otherwise the board will tilt. So it usually didn't work out. The 65cm seemed easier to pump into plane, but it's far too early for a real conclusion. |
