(machine translated in 2023) Cold day
North-east wind pinned and only 10 degrees.. Cold, that was to be expected, gusty too.
Upon arrival, surfers came down the water with 7.5. Too big. Wind seemed strong too. So decided to rig up 6.6.

Daytona 6.6 way too small
During the rigging, the wind subsides and everyone stands still. Let's give it a try. Maybe the wind will come back or it will be better further down the road. Unfortunately, really too little wind. Quick rigging.

GT85 and Daytona 8.3
Much better, enough wind. The Drake 60cm sometimes seemed too big, I could plan early and run super height, but in half winds I could easily get smaller. So the unknown Deboichet 58cm caught. Which nice a little quieter. Could lift nicely, but also gave spinouts at times. Wonderfully done together with the other competitions. Unfortunately, Hans stood with 7.3 and could only come along in the gusts. With Jeroen (DonLimas) and Patrick Mol I was able to come along well. I wasn't faster, but when the wind dropped a little too far, they fell silent and I could easily plan.
We ended up with Gybe training in the bay. Bay in and then through planed gyben and out again. With the GT85, planned gyben is not very difficult. But if I gybe-te too wide, I couldn't leave the bay. But with a few practices, they all went well.

Stopped because I was getting tired and there seemed to be a heavy shower coming. With this temperature, I didn't feel like it.
Nice sails, but very cold.

12:00 0.25 hour Wind: NE
Board: Starboard iSonic 115 - Tectonics Spitfire 38cm
Sail: North Daytona 6.6 - North Gold 460cm - Neil Pryde X9 180-230
  (machine translated in 2023) Wind died down during the rigging, tried for a while and planned a few meters, but wind was just too little.
Quickly larger rigging.
12:30 0.5 hour Wind: NE
Board: AHD GT 85 - Drake R13 Race 60cm
Sail: North Daytona 8.3 - North Viper 75 490cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) As usual, a reliable and predictable combo. No Spinouts, good height run. Quiet on the water.

44.3 km/h achieved, but log was worthless due to date bug in my Geko 201.
13:15 3.25 hour Wind: NE
Board: AHD GT 85 - Deboichet R?? M 58cm
Sail: North Daytona 8.3 - North Viper 75 490cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Set seems a little faster with the Deboichet 58cm. Can also lift a little better. A little more spinouts, but nothing particularly often.

45.6 km/h achieved, but log was worthless due to date bug in my Geko 201.
