(machine translated in 2023) Afternoon free to go surfing. Once arrived, the wind was disappointing. So then the 8.5 on the Super Fast. See if the 43cm Lightning is big enough. My own 45cm hasn't arrived yet.

  (machine translated in 2023) After rigging, the wind was completely gone. Let's get on the water anyway. Always good to find your balance on a new board. There is no volume in the nose. I haven't succeeded yet. After half an hour, slowly wind up again. In the beginning I could just plan and then the 43cm was too small. If I dared to put pressure on my back foot, the board would quietly go into a spin-out. After half an hour I was able to plan well. Time to grab the GPS. In the course of the late afternoon, the 8.5 had to tighten and ran better and better. Waves became higher, so the speed still went out quite a bit. But control remained. Board is very good. Max: 52.8 km/h
