14:30 1.5 hour Wind: SW 12/30 kts
Board: Starboard iSonic 101 - Select S10 37cm
Sail: North Natural 6.6 - North Platinum(09) 460cm - HPL Carbon Race 200-285
  (machine translated in 2023) Set was actually too big, on open water the 6.6 was too big. In the wind holes it went well. Wind was extremely gusty. Between standing still and overpowered. Behind the Campers and Caravans at the harbor it was easy to do. Water was pretty flat, The S10 did well, no spin-outs. Found the board sticking, so boom and mast base put back a few times. In the flat water it was wonderful to see. On open water it was more difficult due to the harder gusts, she often did not get through planing.
15:45 1.75 hour Wind: SW 16/30 kts
Board: Mistral Syncro 103 - Concrete Wave Convertible 30cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) Set sails nicely together, first time good with the 5.3 on the Syncro. Board doesn't feel big at all. And when the wind is so gusty, the volume is very useful. There weren't many waves, but the Syncro doesn't need much to break free. The 30cm fin seems like a good size for the 5.3. Could walk well height with it (outside the wind holes) and didn't feel too wide at all. Board can run very short, try it at sea.
