(machine translated in 2021) Super day, because of preparations for the holiday I had to be home early, so on time on the water, went on the water together with Martijn, nice breeze, just 5, first half hour speed then freeride/ freestyle.. Was very busy with a lot of acquaintances...

Sail: | Arrows Tomahawk 6.8 - Arrows Ultimate Move 460cm - Arrows Ultimate Race 190-240 | |
(machine translated in 2023) Early the water, still very calm and the water nice and flat. The GPS and the Tomahawk at max. trimmed and go. In the bay, already in 1 run 45km/h. Outward and there soon a max. clocked at 57.5 km/h, waves were perfect. With ample wind neatly between the waves. After a few runs on to the mussel bank and from there directly, very spacious, into the bay. HARD!! ... Uh how do I stop for the side? You're kidding? Let's get everything loose.... CLAP, Bounce.... Everything quiet, stuff still very... luckily, where is my GPS? It floats back 5 meters. He's still doing it... 57.9 km/h. Fat. That was fun, now time for some play... |

Sail: | ART Slide 5.4 - Fiberspar Tidal Wave QT 430cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme M | |
(machine translated in 2023) Nice with the Skate on the water, that is nice and light after the Tomahawk. Little jib and jump. Still a lot of pressure, sail tighter. No, not good yet, just back for the 28cm Vin. |

Board: | Fanatic Skate - MFC Freestyle 28cm | |
Sail: | ART Slide 5.4 - Fiberspar Tidal Wave QT 430cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme M | |
(machine translated in 2023) So, that's already better, but still very difficult to keep my set on the water. Then change for the Naish? immediately take the 4.7 or again give it a try with the 5.4? |

(machine translated in 2023) Okay, this is going very well, maybe the Slide is a bit big for this wind, but nice jumping and more control with this wind than with my Skate. Unfortunately we have to stop in time, but that should not spoil the fun. |
