Very nice day at the lake. Together with Theo and Stefan we were at Ouddorp Haven. At the dams the wind was not too strong, but further away from the dams the wind was super. Could not get the superspeed, but was able to get a PR on the nautical (told you so Theo..). Tried some Alpha's as well but top speed was just too low, so got stuck at about 15 x 40kph....

Running the nauticals was fun ! Theo and I were sort of chasing each other, close racing always nice. And I had 6 PR's on the nautical, haha !

Not the expected wind, but had fun with Menno and Theo. Not enough wind at the dams to do some runs so we went chophopping.

Posted the wrong fin it's realy a Ouddorp Haven modified Talon 33,5 saw type to get rid of the seaweed that is'n there yet.

Saw a lot of jelly fish already here, also at \"botenhelling\" last Thursday.

Not enough wind at the dam so I did some serious freeriding with Menno and Stefan.

Thanks Avanti/JP PR on NM , hour and Alpha, to bad Menno beat me on the average.....

Onshore ijsselmeersesie, nice session but with the stiff and nasty chop difficult to go fast, 50 was a bit hard. The 2012 5.8 KA Koncept a way to big but after the right trim it felt nice. Good training on the Falcon 79 between all that waveboards (-:

This morning i didn't want to go to the north of holland because of the rainy and cold weather. Promised Hans to drive together so feel like i had to go. Kuitje is always a dangerous place with many tricky and undeep areas. I didn't feel confident at all today and was entering the course stalling to be sure not to crash with high speeds. Considering the wind strenght and water conditions my speeds were not fast enough. The guts and confidence to sail close to the bank without any fear to hit something was not there today.

Had a bad feeling about today was way out of my comfort zone. The 20 fin was a little too small as i didn't dare to go closer to the bank because of shallow spots so i had more chop. But my feeling was confirmed when i stepped from my board on the first upwind straight on to oiyster by the gap in my boot i knew this would be a nasty one but it didn't seem to bleed heavy so just sailed with it. But didn't feel comfortable today. As i got back after the session blood was coming out of my shoe when i made my first steps out of the water. Going to the doctor tomorrow to get it cleaned out because this stuff is really nasty and don't want it stitched in been there and it's hell. I'm happy its only a 3cm gap and not more. Hope to get back on the water soon but i need to take a break now. Thanks for the help cleaning Barry and Jacques for derigging my gear
