Gusty but nice morning
Wind was predicted SW and would turn to south around 1 or 2 o'clock. So you want to sail before 1. I was on the water later than I had hoped.
It wasn't very busy yet, wind predict and the sail sizes of the others said 4.2. But when I looked at the water I thought 4.7.

There was little wind near the beach, but once further from the beach and there was a gust and I could plane. 4.2 on minimum trim helped. But in the beginning I still needed gusts. Later the gusts became very strong and I could put a little more trim in the sail, but I still couldn't plane all the time, wind sometimes really dropped.

Wind was very gusty and turned a bit, but the weather was very nice. It was very busy with a lot of surfing buddies on the water!

10:30 2.5 hour Wind: SW
Board: Fanatic Grip TE 93 - MFC TF RTM 20cm/MFC TF 2x10cm
Sail: Goya Banzai X Pro 4.2 - Goya Ninety Pro 370 - AL360 E3 Carbon 140-200
  Almost minimum trim in the 4.2. Wind very gusty. 4.7 would have been better, but the 4.2 with minimum trim worked well. Sometimes the wind was very strong and I wanted more trim in the sail, often I was just powered. In the harder gusts the fins went upwind very well, in the wind holes I could easily sail cross wind, but upwind became more difficult. Back-side wave riding went well, just not tight turning. Tried front-side a few times: that worked occasionally.
