I was not expecting this kind of wind on Lake Garda. I never thought I could use a 7.9 or 7.2 with South winds, so I held on my 8.6. It was hard to be fast on such big gear in gusts over 25knots, and in the second elimination, I went down to 7.2, which was though too small as the wind started dropping. Finaly today I was on the right gear and manage to be in the top 2 positions. The event is not finished, but I’m happy to keep my focus.
