(machine translated in 2023) Broken trapeze hook
Perfect evening forecast, increasing SW wind. The point, so perfect weather to play and jump.
Nice evening to try my Fly-Mount with GoPro Hero Wide (camera).

On arrival there appeared to be a strong wind, doubted between 5.3 and 4.7.
Still chose to start with 5.3. Quickly rigged, just search to mount the Fly-Mount and especially to secure the fuse rope properly. The Fly-Mount was not set too tight so that it could rotate with the sail.

On the water it was nice, strong wind, direct planing and many jumping. More on the water, the sail felt quite large.
Sometimes suffer from Spin-outs with the RON 20. After a landing, the camera was aimed incorrectly, so to the side to secure it better and also immediately grabbed my Select 24cm, sail really trimmed all the way to max.

Back on the water it immediately felt better, although the 24cm was perhaps even large. No spinout and a little more control.
After a rake or 2 I sail up the water, feel and hear a snap, first think of my trapeze lines, but they are still whole. I'm still standing, looking at my trapeze hook. Broken! Quickly unhooked, gyben and on arm strength back to the side.

On the way back I already realized that I don't have a spare hook with me (from now on I do). It had been 18:00, so surf shop closed. So end of surf day. BALES! Hopefully the GoPro did film the breakup.

It was cool, even if it was short. A 2nd setback at home: Camera had not recorded properly, I had put normal Alkaline batteries in it, but with that it works poorly and recordings often stop, you should not use them either. Double bales because the broken trapeze hook is not on it now. A short video of my first rak.

De Punt

17:45 0.5 hour Wind: SW
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - MFC RON 20cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Chinook Pro 1 Alloy 165-227
  (machine translated in 2023) Sailed nicely, sail felt a bit big, but easy spinout with the RON against the waves.
Also, I seemed to clearly feel the weight of the GoPro with Flymount in the mast.
18:15 0.25 hour Wind: SW
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 II - Select Wave Warrior 24cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Chinook Pro 1 Alloy 165-227
  (machine translated in 2023) With the 24cm Wave Warrior no more spinouts. Sail was still big.
Unfortunately, it also ended quickly, trapeze hook broke.
