Not bad for the FF90. Fastest session with this board. Normally I take the FF80 but the fin box seems to be broken so I didn't trust it.

I had a early morning session with Andre Hoogendam. Wind was good enough but the direction was a little bit to brought. It was quite an adventure to get by the dams and also the way back was like a rodeo ride. My speeds were ok and the 6.2 evo 1 feels very nice. Conclusion I had a good short windsurf session.

First session on Zonnemaire outside, almost tipped Hompelvoet to get by the dams of ZM outside (-;
The course was very brought, so a lot of rolling chop but nice to have this session, best speeds were after the dams into the chop, wind was not so hard.

Tip of the day, fasten your seatb uhh tackstrap, shorter your boom (-;
Nice day with 6 GCT members.

At least some flat water today got one good gust what a ....($%(_&%$\"\"\".. waist of time should have been at home sleeping instead of going to the water at 6:15 in the morning .

Congrats with the PB Stefan

First time Zonnemaire, f#@king long drive, nice rigging area, lost of GTC members.

Chose the JP65 101L and 6.3 TR, big board / sail bit to small but wanted to go for safe and get to know the spot.

First you had to do quite a bit upwind but no problem to get to  the strip (there were two to chose from)

Did a few half harted runs , run number three was on the way back trough the chop, not behind the wall ;-)

And hey presto new PR Nauticall, wich shows Theo he really needs to learn to steer the boat a litlle more of wind.... 

On shore there was a nice clinic going on about backstraps tacksraps, outhaul kit ,trapeze rope sizes etc etc (yawn even the dog fell asleep) One teammember even said he uses the outhaul kit only because it makes the riging easier

First checked Herkingen which was no good at all. Then we decided to go to Zonnemaire. I think it was the right decision. Before 12.00 the wind was at its best.

Now we will have to wait a while for the next windsurf day I think.

PR on 5x10s/500m/NM.......but still not 80 average.

Used a 20 slingshot of Jacq....thanx for that.

At the beginning it was hard for me to go fast because the track was choppy later the wind shifted and it was flat. Every time the max was over 80 but the runs were not good enough. Did 4 out of 5 runs with a broken batten.

Nevertheless it was a great session, had a lot of fun. And great to meet speeders from different countries

Super day. Now i remember why we went to La Franqui so many times last year. Spend 10 hours on the beach in perfect speed conditions, i love it. A nice group of speedsurfers including the Prince from Italy, Anders from Zweden, Max from Denmark and many others fellows. La Franqui is again Nautical Mile proof. Go back to this place as fast as possible. Hans, pack your bags! Stefan great to see you improving every session.

Hi Sam,

On gps-speedsurfing you can check out with google earth were we sail. This weekend looks good, but forecast can change offcourse.

We are on stand by for a trip in august, not this weekend, maybe next of the week after.

All the best!
