The new equipment is sick!
Right after the new year I went for a week to Almanarre to test some now slalom boards. It was cold, one day really cold with air not passing 2C, but I really liked the new boards. By then I only got the 9.3 and 5.4 of my slalom Challenger AERO + sails, so I only tried the 9.3 and it worked really good also in gusts up to 20 knots. Before I hit the road home I passed by Anders Bringdal to speak about my new slalom sails - AERO + as he developed them.
I decided to register the Fire X 135, 112 and 90 for my three boards for this season as I found myself really good on them. The boards are very calm in all kind of conditions and that is way I feel fast on them. I just don't want to speak about the jibing as it is so smooth.
Yesterday a very warm south wind made a perfect playground to try for the first time the RRD Twintip 110 with the BA (Bash) 5.7. Although the wind was a bit gusty I had so much fun. The board slides forever and the sail is just perfectly stable to performe all the moves.
I am very happy and motivated as I really like my new gear!
