On super-flat water, going fast and controlling the gear becomes so easy it indeed feels like cheating. I rarely encounter these conditions but when I do I love it. But it can also become a little boring after half an hour or so. It is tempting to become lazy and just 'mow the lawn' up and down. So I try to challenge myself to execute perfect technique in gybing an tacking. Without the chop there is no excuse for those common technique flaws. If you can't plane out of a gybe on flat water you don't stand a chance in heavy chop. Super-flat water is like sugar and alcohol; it is great provided used responsibly. Use it too much and you become a fat lazy windsurfer.
@@windsurfing_alex thank you 😊. I did not test it with different fin brands, I only tried this combo with Finish V2 38cm and 37cm. I found it is absolutely perfect with 37cm and I don't like it with 38cm.
@@ned-507 oh Fine, I think the 38 is a little to big for your bodyweight. Maybe a 36 is an option for you. I try an 37 z-fin SL-F in my 110l Patrik and I think it’s ok.
What was the wind speed? I am curious as I can't tell considering how flat the water is. My home spot is San Francisco Bay, we have chop and tide competing with each other :D
You should try the Zuidlaardermeer chop..

Hi Max, which Fin you prefere by this combination? It looks amaising how you rail the Board.
