M112-P7.1-Weedspeed31.

Guessed that the wind would be better here. Was rather choppy. I started with the tribal weedspeed. I rate this spot at this moment 3/10 for weed. There was not really flat water to be found, so I sailed to flat water. At the flat water I did some runs. First weedspeed, than powermax (1km/h faster), than sonntag GPS-6 35cm (same speed). In the end I put the GPS6 33cm with less torsional stiffness (compared to standard) and this fin-combo was 3kmh* faster. I would recommend lighter guys to be carefull with GPS-6 lenght, it is a powerfull fin. *The speed comparison is not really fair (wind increased and shifted).

Before I went back I chose the tribal powermax, and I am glad I did because the wind shifted towards west and decreased even more. Was rather though getting back. I was not alone on the water. I enjoyed every fin (weedspeed, powermax, GPS6), I learned a bit more about the strenghts and weaknesses.
