Wow, super day, wind was gone when I came but came all the way back. First on the side of the side there was chatter because there was only wind force 3. Still the Skate with 5.9 but rigged. First it was bobbing, pumping and then just planing. Soon the wind increased and it was full of plan. Time to test the Hybrid Wave. Things didn't go well at first.
Until even my 4.7 was actually too big. First time sailed with the Ice 4.7. When I wanted to stop around 18:30 Martijn and Hans came, so I sailed with Martijn for another fifteen minutes.

Set ran well, hardly any wind at first, but with some pumping and planing on my toes there was still speed to be made and sometimes even jumping. When the wind picked up, the set went well. Practiced a few more Rail Grabs. |

Did not run well, turned out to have 1 foot strap wrong, too narrow. But could barely walk high. The 5.9 even got too big. Not feeling good about this session. |

Delicious, first time with the Ice 4.7. Feels familiar, predictable and good wind range. RON 20cm worked well until the wind went towards max of the 4.7 and the water became uncalm. Then the RON is not very cool anymore. |

Rough water, 4.7 sometimes too big, but with the Wave Warrior 22cm it went well, at some times to, but then I should have only taken a 4.2. |

With the Ice 4.7, that Hybrid Wave runs pretty well, but those foot straps. Still went to the side to put the Da Kine Pro contours on it. What a difference. Now the board seems to sail much more pleasantly. Control is really good. Golf riding very nice. Altitude run well. It's not too bad, I expected it to be less pleasant sailing in so much wind. Conclusion, with good foot straps it is a very nice board. Very different from my JP FreestyleWave |
