ON THE SPOT #4 - DEFI WIND GRUISSAN

[@robertocoslovich3143]

well done guys! congratulations on your excellent results

[@richardm9688]

What a great event. It must have been a memorable experience. I wanted to ask (I don't know if you are still online as this is an old video), were you using the Optimum Timer Series 3 watch? i am looking for a watch suitable for both sailing and windsurfing. I don't know what you're doing, but I'm sure you're still having fun windsurfing!

It was nice meeting you there and seeing you both flying !

[@femkeenjelle3826]

Ja leuk je te ontmoeten Sipke! Leuk om het enthousiasme tussen jou en Jasper te zien!! :)

[@erkaltarm2872]

how do you surfing with one hand? 😵

[@evaldasluksevicius9665]

Amazing! :) I've just seen that you're on AC1. Could you share why you swiched from ACK and how's the feeling compared to ACK? I'm considering between these two beasts right now :)

[@femkeenjelle3826]

Sure! I switched from ACK to AC1 because it's my goal is to gain some weight, in combination with this sail with more power I hope to go faster in the future. So far my speeds are about the same, the ack is really a very fast sail, and the ease of use is tempting. For real competition racing, the AC1 will probably be just a little better, but they get pretty close, especially if you haven't quite figured out the power and acceleration of the ac1 yet or like a more forgiving riding style, less physical, making it easier to last longer.

[@evaldasluksevicius9665]

@@femkeenjelle3826 Thanks for the answer. My weight is 80 kg, so as a slalom sailor I'm light and I am not considering to gain wight :) Goal is to be competitive at national level in Lithuania, where if you make good starts, have good jibes, so you already get good results. Top speed is not the decisive factor. I guess the level is higher in Netherlands :) How about overpowered conditions for ACK? Do these sails "like" these conditions and are still comparable to AC1 ? Best wishes, keep going :)

[@femkeenjelle3826]

@@evaldasluksevicius9665 I always liked the ACK, and still like it! Even for racing, which I did, just like you, on national level. I personally never had the feeling of missing something. Rather the feeling of having an advantage when the wind increased strongly, where you can keep the ACK longer.

Helden..!!!

[@fonsvandenhove]

I'm too lazy to look it up: What were your results?

[@si_gr]

Femke became 4th over all woman if I’m correct.

[@femkeenjelle3826]

Yes that's right! Jelle became 122 overall

[@steven_windsurf_nl]

Jelle, Femke, zou ik dit met een 3s boardje en freeride zeiltje ook kunnen doen? Lijkt me zo vet dit!

[@femkeenjelle3826]

Zeker! Er doen genoeg mee op een wavezeiltje!

[@steven_windsurf_nl]

@@femkeenjelle3826 ok. Top. Ik hou de aankondiging voor de experience volgend jaar in de gaten.
