Saturday
Neilpryde RS:Racing EVOII 7.0 and 7.8, very less wind 8kn till 14kn. The sails feel a bit more soft, general feeling is about the same. The total distance was 37km, and topspeed was around 50kmh (27kn). In Low-end conditions the new Neilpryde sails are easier to handle, the older sails had a low-wind mode but when hitting a sudden gust you had to be carefull
Sunday
I bought a secondhand Fanatic Falcon 91 (2006) somewere in October. Saturday was the day with right conditions to see what this board can do. Wind was between 16 and 21kn. I chose my RS:Racing EVOI 6.7 and a Select SL9 proto 33cm. And it felt quick from beginning.
However I struggled to get over 34kn speed. In the end when the wind was degreasing I chose a bit smaller fin Select SL7 Gold 31, and managed to surf the fastest run of the day >35kn.
Next time I am going to use the 31cm fin and hope to sail even higher speeds!

I agree, that one of best way to enjoyed life is to have fun specially when you get bored.
In fact windsurfing can be said to straddle both the laid-back culture of surf sports and the more rules-based environment of sailing.The sport has a potentially shallower (longer) learning curve when compared to other so-called "extreme" sports. But, are there easy way to learn surfing?

I have been a surfinstructor for a short period (www.leerwindsurfen.nl). It only took 1 hour to learn a group of 6 persons go forward and turn on a windsurfer.
The fun really starts when you will be able to glide. This takes a bit longer to learn, but within 1 surfvacation possible.
Cheers,
Erik
