Unexpected wind. Forecast had said to expect around 15 knots, well they were wrong ;-) Wind was already 18 knots when I arrived, so good opportunity to try out my New Talon 36cm together with the 7,5 Koncept. Very good combo, and what a fin! You can push, drag, fly, let go, but the fin never looses track. Good lift, handles very well on the chop, and down wind it gives a lot of confidence.

Today I was aiming for a solid NM; but the chop was too damn high, so could not hit it over 50kmh on the NM. All in all a very nice and unexpected session. Sailed together with Sander, and we had fun !
