Perfect Lauwersmeer day. In the beginning the wind wasn't strong enough, but lateron it got stronger. The 8.6 was a little bit too big in the end. First time on the Mistral 112. 7.8 is perfect on the board I think. For slalom and light wind speed, this will be my favorite, for sure. Because of the length it get on the plane very easy and has great control in the chop.
