(machine translated in 2023) The day of the Storm... KNMI advises everyone not to go on the road and to stay away from the water for water sports. Time to surf..

Herkingen

Present: Bart

12:30 0.5 hour Wind: S/SW
Board: F2 Sputnik 270 PTE - Pro-Am Racing/SL 28cm
Sail: Gaastra Flow F1 5.8 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme 175-225
  (machine translated in 2023) But just enough wind for the Flow 5.8, the sail would have been very tightly rigged at first, but still had to loosen everything a bit to get away. The 28cm was just a bit too small for so little wind. So quickly grabbed the 31cm.
13:00 1 hour Wind: S/SW
Board: F2 Sputnik 270 PTE - Select Superfast 31cm
Sail: Gaastra Flow F1 5.8 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme 175-225
  (machine translated in 2023) Wind was a bit too little for the 28cm so only changed for the 31cm. Went better, got into planee earlier, and could walk better height. Until at 14:00 the storm really came. Then I stopped because, the water was already very choppy, now it was no longer doable for speed.
14:15 0 hour Wind: S/SW
Board: JP Wave 255 - Fin's Sideshore 8.50"
Sail: North Voodoo 3.7 - North XC60 400cm - HPL Aluminum Wave 137-193
  (machine translated in 2023) Well that sucks, big wind time for the 3.7 the top extender jumps after 2 meters. Have walked more with my set than sailed..

Strand Horst

18:30 1 hour Wind: SW
Board: F2 Thommen 275 - Select Superfast 31cm
Sail: Gaastra Flow F1 5.8 - Fiberspar 4200 QT 460cm - Arrows Weapon Xtreme 175-225
  (machine translated in 2023) For the first time on Horst, fled from a storm in Zeeland, but here too the storm set in. I got hungry and just stopped. But the water was so flat. We will definitely go here more often...
