(machine translated in 2023) Sunny but cold
Finally dry again, but it was cold. Wind was N and hard.
Stood on the cabbler's bench at the harbor. Pretty good with this wind direction.
All day slalom Training. Ben vd Steen and Nikaj Droop were training together. I've tried to come along with them sometime since: Impossible.

Started with Daytona 7.3, was just too big. Quickly rigged the Crossride 6.0. Much better, also on the big side, but good to keep. Good to test the Crossride once.
Gyben with the Crossride did not go well at all in the beginning, always fell silent.
After a few good practices, they got better and better. Also practiced a lot on tree-to-boom gyben. I normally always grab the mast. It can be done better by not gripping mast. My solution at the moment: Just before turning the sail, slide the mast hand forward and it goes quite well.
Great to practice slalom on flat water.

11:45 0.5 hour Wind: N
Board: Starboard iSonic 115 - Select SL7 37cm
Sail: North Daytona 7.3 - North Gold 460cm - Neil Pryde X9 180-230
  (machine translated in 2023) Big, the Daytona 7.3 was big. I was able to keep him, but it took a lot of strength. During a Slalom Race it would definitely be an option. LOTS of Power. SL7 37cm was not too small, but height walking was not super. 39cm is definitely better for a match. If it hadn't been so flat water, it certainly wouldn't have been possible.
12:30 0.5 hour Wind: N
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - Select SL7 35cm
Sail: North Crossride 6.0 - North Gold 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Set ran well, control good, but foot straps were big. SL7 35cm was good, rather on the small side. No spinouts, good control.
Hip Trapeze also works very well on this set.
13:45 1 hour Wind: N
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - C3 D2 36cm
Sail: North Crossride 6.0 - North Gold 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) First 15 minutes without GPS sailed.
Well, speed feels higher than the SL7 35, but altitude walking also a touch less. Need to test the SL7 and C3 with a buddy to see which one is really the best, I'm leaning towards the C3 now.
14:45 0.5 hour Wind: N
Board: Starboard S-Type 104 - Hurricane SRA 36cm
Sail: North Crossride 6.0 - North Gold 430cm - North X-Composite M
  (machine translated in 2023) Didn't disappoint, I was afraid I would find the SRA too harsh. But it actually did very well. Becomes another difficult choice which fin to keep and which one to get rid of.
Finished with a jump, got too close to a mussel bank and went over it. Tip of the 36cm shaved.
