Windsurfing news from Lake Neusiedler

We got some wind from southeastern direction this afternoon. I would estimate 5 to 14 knots strong. I went for the first time on the Formula plus my biggest Code Red 8,8, which felt extraordinary new. Would love to go with the 11 m sail, which should arrive soon in Europe. It´s still in a container and hope that the container ship will not be captured somewhere in Somalia. Later on I continued with the iSONIC 122 plus Vector 48. The combo is fine and plans very early. Just on the upwind trimm I have to work a bit. But upwind is not the main direction we sail in Slalom.
The good news from the lake are: we have a very warm April so far and the watertemperature increased from 8° in the end of March to 19° today. The waterlevel dropped by 15 cm and makes the chop more comfortable. And what´s about the airtempeature? Above 20°!!!!
The wind looks fine for tomorrow as well.
