(machine translated in 2023) So the first day of the year. Wind was nice, and sailed with the HighWinds for the first time. Great day.. until the wind fell away.

12:00 1 hour Wind: S 17/22 kts
Board: F2 Sputnik 230 WCE - Deboichet Custom Slalom 30cm
Sail: North Disco 5.9 - Arrows Ultimate Race 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) First time with my Deboichet 30cm. Looks like a fine fin. Had no spin-out. The 5.9 was already quite large when rigging, but the Arrows 430 was put in to be able to rig the 5.3 later. In itself, the Arrows 430 sails quite reasonably, but the top twist much less. Wind was getting stronger and stronger, time for something smaller
13:00 0.75 hour Wind: S 18/26 kts
Board: HighWinds Speed - Select Lightning Speed 26cm
Sail: North Disco 5.9 - Arrows Ultimate Race 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Wind was getting very hard, smaller sail? Smaller shelf.. Maybe the HighWinds? Who knows. 28cm fin underneath, unfortunately it doesn't fit. Then the 26cm that fits does. Just an exciting one to see if I can get into plane with it. Board is not disappointing, even in the mean chop a lot of control. The 26cm fin was a lot too small for the Disco, no spinouts, but hardly any grip. Board still plans pretty well. But some tiring sailing..
14:00 1.25 hour Wind: S 17/24 kts
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - F2 Guerilla Wave 23cm
Sail: North Instinct 5.3 - North Viper 75 430cm - North Progression Comp A+
  (machine translated in 2023) After speeding, time to jump. 5.3 rigged with the FSW and sailed until the wind was really gone.
