13:00 0.5 hour Wind: W 16/22 kts
Board: Mistral Syncro 103 - Select Style 30cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Platinum 430 - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) Get on and enjoy. What a nice freemove board the Syncro is. The 5.3 was big in the gusts. Quickly put max trim on it. A bit of pressure on my back foot, but not bothered by a floating front foot or on a rising board. Gijpen was getting better and better, a more and more often planned by. Riding through the waves and chop: good for confidence. Very fine fin the Style 30cm.
13:30 1.25 hour Wind: W 12/22 kts
Board: Mistral Syncro 103 - Makani Kaku 26cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Platinum 430 - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) The 26 is much finer with a full-power 5.3 than the Style 30cm. Press better distributed on both feet, board rotates shorter, and no spin-outs. A bit of jumping, nice sailing, nice set.
14:45 0.25 hour Wind: W 14/22 kts
Board: Mistral Syncro 103 - Select Style 30cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Platinum 430 - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) The 30cm worked better with less wind than the 26cm. Came easier in plane, only in the wind holes I really came up short. We made a very tight hostage in a flurry.
15:00 0.5 hour Wind: W 10/18 kts
Board: Starboard iSonic 101 - Select S10 35cm
Sail: North Trans-Am 6.6 - North Platinum(09) 460cm - AL360 E3 Carbon 180-230
  (machine translated in 2023) The Trans-Am 6.6 was too big in the beginning. Trim wasn't good yet either, sail didn't feel stable. Did some work on the trim. If the set got a lot better, mast foot a little further back, a little more downhaul, then it was good (except in the hardest gusts, then the sail had to open, the nose went up.)
