Surfgasm (1847km):
3622 days ago 2 categories Maidentrip of the RRD 43 Custom in very gusty conditions, so not exactly the best occasion to find the sweetspot on this board for the baseplate. I
I rigged the 5,6 mid-wind settings and on a SDM, that ment that I was extremely overpowered in the gusts. In between the gusts was actually the most fun.
There was a bit of a problem with the seaweed, my Caspar doesn't have much rake, so that was a bummer.
I used only 3 kilo of lead, that should/could have been at least the double(or triple), but with the need to check the fin after every run( I only jibed once!) I preferred to be able to waterstart more easely and then is lead no very helpfull.
last week I was at Zonnemaire when Herkingen was the place to be and this time it was the opposite! But nevertheless a nice speedday with a 42 kts peek and a couple of speedbuddy's, so could have been worse, could have been raining!
wish you all a speedy 2015
