(machine translated in 2023) Slalom Training
Late to the water, first cycled 40km. Clear blue sky, 10 degrees so not warm.

Quickly rigged the 7.3. briefly sailed with the Drake 40, which was big but not too big.
Then SL7 caught. It seemed faster and better.
Just slalom training done. Gyben for the shop to a buoy on the edge of the mussel bank and then back to the shore, gyben to a buoy or for the camper. Gybjes soon went a lot better. Boom-to-boom also works a lot more often. Also at speed by keeping the chop board calm is getting better and better.

After a while I met Ingmar Daldorf (NED-191), Robert Kreisel (NED-107) and 2 others who were training together. Sailed with them for fifteen minutes or so. Instructive. She just couldn't keep up at speed, but at the buoys they were much faster. Even if my gybe went well they were really faster. What I definitely still have to work on are my gybes with other surfers. Only they go 80% stainless. And the other 15% I don't fall into, but I don't skim through. With other surfers I don't get 30% by planing, but fortunately I don't fall 10% into it yet. So that really needs to be improved.
