El Medano - Playa Sur
10:30 | 3 hour | Wind: 15/25 kts |
---|---|---|
Board: | Goya Bolt 105 - Tribal Powermax 36cm | |
Sail: | North S-Type SL 6.6 - North Platinum 160-220 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Set works very well, very nicely balanced. In the beginning when the wind was still very strong it was just a bit much, but 1cm more outhaul and boom 2cm down: control. Water was rough, 1 meter ground swell with waves on top of the wind and because of the many surfers and kiters extra chaos, so really difficult water. But the Bolt did very well. Control of all rates. Always feeling like I was in charge of the set. The S-Type SL has a long range, when the wind subsided a bit, outhaul 2cm looser and just sail on. Sail rotates like crazy. Has a deep profile, plans pretty well, okay it's not Warp. North has finally made a worthy successor to the Daytona. |
