Nice evening freemove
Unfortunately, I could go sailing on Sunday. But Monday night was possible. Very quiet, only a handful of people on the water.
Wind was disappointing, had expected more. Doubted between 6.6 and 6.0. The 6.0 with minimal trim on the FSW 102 planes very early and sails very much more relaxed than the iSonic 101 with 6.6, especially at sea.

Plan directly from the beach. Sail soon needed more trim. Some small ramps in front of the measuring post for some chop hopping. After the measuring pole only swell, no steep waves. So mostly freeriding. Sail really on maximum trim, 5.3 could have worked easily. So tried the One Pro 95 with the 6.0.

The One Pro 95 certainly works well with the 6.0 with so much power. Board feels distinctly different from the FSW 102. Much less free, less lively. And without waves, therefore, also a bit more boring. So back to the FSW 102.

For freeride, the FSW 102 is clearly more fun.
Few steep waves, only mostly swell. A bit of jumping, but mostly nice long runs. Nice sailing.

Good choice, always planing. Sail trimmed to maximum. In some gusts a sail was large, but never really too big. Board ran wonderfully free. Only at high speed sometimes spinouts. |

First time with the 6.0 on the Goya 95. Fins worked well, good upwind. Board didn't run very free, more planted. Takes some getting used to the board. Very different feeling than the and direct and free feeling of the JP FSW. Unfortunately no waves to be found that were steep enough for waveriding. |

Set is clearly more fun than the Goya 95 with only swell and no steep waves. Set worked very well. |
