What a great day. It was too East for speeding at the dam. So it was speeding in the chop.....some real proper chop. At the end it was full power with the 7.8....flying over the chop. So the 200km's felt like a lot more in these conditions.

Great that Angelo & Walter came to make some video/photo of our team for the Ghosts of Speed. Thanks guys And thanks Nikaj for the downhaul tip.

A really nice present from mother nature, blue sky, sun and a lot of wind, sometimes in a year this conditions.
Falcon 95 and Koncept 6.6 was a nice combination, @ the end it was hands full in the gusts, crashed once when made a decision to slow, gibe or upwind when on downwind course (-: broken batten and ego )-:

Angelo and Walter came for making video and foto footage for the movie, but the wind didn't shift and stayed too much east.
Nice meeting both, guys thanks for company and lets hope you took some nice shots.

Good seeing a lot of Chopteamers in this nice and choppy windsurfconditions.

What a day... Took the afternoon off, because of these non-Dutch conditions... 27 degrees and a beaufort 5-6 from the east. We decided to go to Oud Dorp haven because the forecast showed enough north in the direction to get a good angle on the dams at Ouddorp Haven. Too bad the wind stayed to far East.... Still had loads of fun, chop hopping big time in pretty scary size waves. Went to the island accross Zonnemaire with Jacques Pelle to do some runs there. Nice spot, but too gusty today, and quite a short strip.. After that did some chop hopping again, and then wham bang thank you mame I was thrown off my board.... Hard crash somewhere in the deeper waters (I could not stand there, and I am almost 2 meters tall..). I somehow hit a big poal with my board. Right across the middle towards the fine the body of the board has been ripped open, so I am guessing the board is a total loss now.... I got away with shaking legs, a busted up ego and some minor muscle pains. Andre, mate, thanks for checking up on me !!

YES!!! Left Bunschoten to have a good day on the water. And it turned out to be a top session. Angelo Pecere was there to film the GCT but sadly the direction was too much East. I hope we have more luck next time. Probably Walter made some nice pics.

The 7.0 SCR 2012: I LIKE! Get on the board and go. Nothing more, nothing less. Nice power delivery and easy handling. Rotation not always smooth, so this must be improved.

Stefan was very fast with his big gear.

Had fun with Antoine cruising the Grevelingen and a aftersession with my girl in supersunny warm weather doesn't get any better then this only when it's 40knots+wind ;)
