KABAM!
After 2 days being ill today I finally had the courage to fart again and go out...
Upwind to Hompelvoet on the medium board to try my brand new SL-R 39cm. It was quite windy and getting there upwind was no problem... ;) I already noticed I was not in shape to sail back in this wind, so I had more than enough time to adjust my gear and wait for the wind to drop a couple of knots.
After two hours my trim was perfect, but the wind did drop...
Should I wait for some gusts or head back? Easy choice after my harness line snapped... It was a gamble not to use my ION lines on a new boom, but it now showed why you need to use gear you trust ;)
