Present: Jurjen, Menno (flappie)

14:15 1.5 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: Starboard Futura 101
Sail: North Crossride 6.6 - North Platinum(09) 460cm - AL360 E3 Carbon 180-230
  (machine translated in 2023) First time with my Crossride 6.6 and to try the Futura 101 packed. The Futura has a GoPro surfmount and I wanted to try it. Crossride feels familiar, trim was quickly found. Wind wasn't strong enough in the beginning to make board run really fast, I could plan well, but board didn't run loose. Last half hour the wind increased enough to let the board really loose.
The Crossride runs nice and stable, plans easily and feels light in the hand. Okay, I miss the power after a jib, but all non-full-slalom sails and especially camberless sails have that.
Personally, I like my iSonic 101 better.

17:15 0.25 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: Mistral Syncro 103 - Makani Ono 28cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) Setje sailed well, planned early and controlled, but the 103 was not needed with this wind. On the side no wind, but once away from the dunes, immediately hard and immediately clear, the 5.3 is spacious enough . So that Syncro 103 is not necessary.
17:30 0.5 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 Pro - onbekend Wave 16cm/MUFins X-Tri 2x14,5cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) As an experiment the 16cm caught with the 14,5cm of Jurjen tried. It wasn't disappointing, I thought it might be too small, but I could sail really well with it. Board is lower in the water. Foresight with pressure on the back foot. But then it works, on flat water it is a bit disappointing, not really fun. But once on a wave, it really sails like a skateboard, running short and predictable. Is very similar in feel to theStarboard Quad 81which I've had. Board low in the water, runs height although it doesn't feel that way. On flat water and against chop not nice. But once on a wave very cool. Could really turn the board all the way vertically. Still nice how much difference a set of fins makes for a board.
18:00 1.75 hour Wind: W/SW
Board: JP Freestyle Wave 84 Pro - MFC Freewave 22,5cm/Makani Walu 2x10cm
Sail: North Ice 5.3 - North Gold 430cm - Aeron V-Grip 160-210
  (machine translated in 2023) Set works very well, I think this is the best setup (10+22.5cm) for the board so far. Sail was actually too big most of the time, trimmed over max and it was completely flat, but tiring. If the wind was a little less, I could ride golf. Board can really be very vertical with these fins. Because of the grip, jumping is also very easy
