(machine translated in 2023) Finally I was back to normal dangers, no problems at all with my intestines. Only cold: 10 degrees. Hard crash with the Sputnik 230 made

11:30 2 hour Wind: N/NW 12/18 kts
Board: Fanatic Skate 111 - MFC Goya Freemove 27cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) In the beginning it went well with the 6.6, but in the gusts it quickly became too big. The 27cm Freemove was big enough in the gusts, but in between it was difficult to walk height. Sailed on for a while, but at a certain point it became really impossible for the Skate. The Sputnik 230 but removed from the cart, wind would collapse, so no sense in rigging.
13:30 1 hour Wind: N/NW 13/19 kts
Board: F2 Sputnik 230 WCE - Select Superfast 31cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) With the Sputnik, the 6.6 can be kept much longer than with the Skate. Boom higher, trapeze strings slightly forward, sail above the deck and go. Difference in speed is great. And how versatile the Natural is, on the skate wonderful handling, with some trimming quite stable and fast on the Sputnik. There was a lot of chop, as always with N/NNW on the grevelingen the chop is in the direction of the lake and so you sail on the way back you have to go against it. With the Sputnik and some supple knees, this turned out to be no problem at all. Great board. Unfortunately after entering the bay sailed a little too close to the shore. Hard blow and I was in 15cm deep water. Fin broken, board leak and trapeze string broken.
14:45 0.25 hour Wind: N/NW 16/19 kts
Board: Fanatic Skate 111 - MFC Goya Freemove 27cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) 6.6 is really too big, I still sail, keep the set on the water, but playing with the waves and jumping is hardly possible anymore. Time for something smaller.
15:00 0.75 hour Wind: N/NW 12/19 kts
Board: Fanatic Skate 111 - MFC Goya Freemove 27cm
Sail: North Disco 5.9 - North Viper 75 430cm - North Progression Comp A+
  (machine translated in 2023) Delicious, with the 5.9 finally a good amount of pressure in the sail. Nice to play, only between the gusts even with the Skate not to get into plane. Wind is also decreasing more and more. Still take the 6.6.
15:45 0.25 hour Wind: N/NW 11/16 kts
Board: Fanatic Skate 111 - MFC Goya Freemove 27cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North Viper 75 460cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Sailed with the 6.6 for a while, in the gusts it was still going, but wind is decreasing, and also my energy.
