(machine translated in 2023) What a day, forecast was max 18 kts on the coast. When I arrive at the Grevelingendam, they are already sailing there with 5.5. Wind was not entirely favorable there, so I went to Herkingen. 30 degrees with 20 to 30 kts wind. Great, just a pity that I broke my 5.3.

  (machine translated in 2023) I had seen that Martijn and Hans were sailing with 5.7 and 5.4 on the Grevelingendam. So 5.3 should be good... No, way too big. Could still sail, but tasty was different. When I wanted to put my set against the fence, the sail hit up and a crack in the sail. Bales.
13:00 2.5 hour Wind: S/SW 20/30 kts
Board: JP Wave 255 - MFC Goya Wave 21cm
Sail: North Voodoo 4.2 - North XC60 400cm - North Progression Comp A+
  (machine translated in 2023) Well this went very nicely, nicely jumped, played nicely in the waves in the sailing trench. Made a lot of rail grabs. Tried to grab the fin, but couldn't. The Pro-Limit foot straps are very good on the JP after some adjustment. Wind seemed to subside a bit, so the Naish just put it under for a while.

  (machine translated in 2023) That's great. With the Naish some more running jumping, tried 1 backloop, but most waves were not steep enough for that.
