Iets te zuid vlagerig middagje, maar lekker gevaren :-)

Toch weer even gevaren

Fiks trekken vanmiddag aan die 8.6.

Heerlijk gevaren!

Toch maar de Mach4 7.8 gekocht ipv de Mach 2 7.8. Nieuwe zeil 8 cm kortere giek.Lichtweersessie wat direct al positief opvalt door de kortere giek kan ik meer aan/halvewindse snelheid opbouwen (zeker met meer wind ondanks voor mij dit relatief een groot zeil is ).Verder stabiel en licht en denk ik ook met wat meer wind nog prima,efficient te varen.Gaan dat nog zien.Nu al geen spijt.Beetje aan en uit windje, maar met groot spul prima te varen.

Heerlijk gevaren op het grote board.

Het liep voor geen meter. Eén lekkere run, en de rest was zwaar, duwen trekken, geen pull. Alles geprobeerd, zelfs nog gekeken of Jan geen tape aan mn vin had geplakt...;). Niks hielp, bij terugkomst bleek lat gebroken. Wel weer erg gezellig op de kant...:)

Before the start of the day Kees, Harald and yourstruly had a nice converstation on gear. I had a Weedspeed 32 with me. Kees told me immediately the 32 is way too large for the F99. Harald told me it's perfect. Kees is about my size. Harald is way taller. As I didn't sail them for years I just tried it, only to find out the fin worked like a bucket behin my board.  I could hardly get the board over 60 as it was glued to the water for about 100cm. Then I remembered I sailed 28cm back then on a 62 wide board. 

After changing the fin I could just catch two nice gusts and then the summer walk back home :-). Still a nice day and finally a first impression on the Venom 6.9. It's lighter than last years model which was already really good and fast for a 7.0, but I will never like any sail larger than 6.3 :-). I'm an old fart used to old school speedsurfing and as I grow older things probably get worse :-).

Eerste keer met de RRD en de AC-1. Wat een heerlijk setje!

Board loopt lekker los. En de AC-1 heeft veel meer power dan het freerace spul dat ik gewend ben :)
