It looked like fun to try a sail on the SUP in (really) small waves. So I bought a 6.2 Global wave sail from MauiSails and gave it a try after mounting a bigger wave fin on the SUP Board. Sailing up-wind went relatively well, to my surprise. There is definitely no planning with the Whopper, but with some additional power of the sail it is easy to glide from small waves.

Report from Team Gaebler Extreme 40 series.
The second race day started up slow. now wind until approx 16h00 in the afternoon. The cloudy sky openend up and the wind almost immidiately came in.
Some windsurfers tried some SUP boards to kill the time during the windless part of the day. Which some did actually quite good.
Before the races, Bjorn managed to break a mast. Went back to the beach and quickly changed gear.
