Today we decided to go again to La Franqui and check the beach from Port La Nouvelle up to La Franqui. We only needed a few hundred meters of straight beach to make 10 seconds runs. At least my Nautical Mile record is save now for the next few months;-) We met the West Kirby boys Steve Thorp and Lance Newbery today and decided to check the course together. We found a crazy course near the famous wooded pier, looked like Luderitz, the entry between the beach and a sand bar, only a few meters with water. You had to sail close to the beach (but not to close) not to hit all the sandbars downwind, Wouter and Hans made many movie films and photo's, thanks guys! Later some German, Greek and French guys joined us aswell and i never saw so many people crashing. I even managed to make a run over 83 on this mickey mouse course. Lets see what the wind will do tomorrow, probably it will be nucleair again. So no records this weekend on La Franqui, this is sad, but we will not give up.

a funky day at la franqui . the east wind totally broke the bank and there is not even a straight 500M , today was fun with going thru little channels and dodging sandbanks . $0So it was safe to say it was not as good as it was . But had a fun day and a oke average . Was good to sail with Hans and Jacques , was a good team effort .$0

today was a lot better and sailable but very dangerous we decide to sail in a channel max 3m wide this was some sick kamikaze shit sandbars all over the place. Had 2 bad crashes and my 5,5 is ready for the dumpster. first one my ancle got hurt again so decided to make a few runs for a nice average but couldn't give enough fin pressure and didn't want to make my straps wider and i'm happy i didn't do it because the second crash with 41knots straight on the sandbank so now i'm a bit limp but now it's not broken.
don't think i can surf tomorrow
