Had a nice session today. Most of the day I tested a new wide tail light wind slalomboard and in the end I used my 44 speedboard. Again it surprised me how fast modern day slalomboards really are. Speed difference was insignificant even though the wind picked up when I used the speedboard. The 6.0 wasn't the right size for the 44 speedboard. The board was pushed into the waves too much. Our boards are riding very flat with very little friction, so you can do with a small sail and a fairly large board compared to other brands.

The Stealt is a truly amazing sail which I love more each session. You can apply a lot of downhaul. Best setting seems to be when using complete loose leech between the first and second batten and between second and third the leech must be completely loose until 5cm (2") from the mastsleeve (wile the sail is lying on the beach).
