12:30 1.75 hour Wind: W/SW 22/28 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 Pro - Select Wave Warrior 24cm
Sail: North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(b) 400cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) The 4.7 was trimmed over max and still on the large side. It was doable, but not really possible to do many more things, it was difficult, it didn't take the pressure off.
The 24cm was a bit on the large side, ran too easily height, maybe should have taken the 22cm Wave Warrior or another fin. Between the hardest gusts it went pretty well, had some nice golf rides and some nice jumps.
14:15 0.5 hour Wind: W/SW 25/30 kts
Board: JP Single Thruster 75 Pro - JP Wave 20cm/K4 Ezzy Asymmetric 2x12cm
Sail: North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(b) 400cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) 4.7 too big. Couldn't quite become friends with it, water was also too chaotic to really be able to ride golf well. Didn't find the board easy to get short, but other times he even turned too short. That may have been the oversized 4.7.
15:00 0.25 hour Wind: W/SW 24/30 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 Pro - MFC Freewave 22,5cm
Sail: North Ice 4.7 - North Gold(b) 400cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) Wind too strong for the 4.7, but was able to keep the set reasonably under control. The 22.5cm Freewave was small, which gave control, but also makes it more difficult to sail, had to be careful with putting pressure on the fin. Next time I'll pick up a set of thrusters.
