With JP FSW 84 and Ice hazards, water 5.3 unfortunately too flat. Stopped because erHet was not warm, but fine to on the water. After beating up (do you do good Jurjen) and change clothes still ff yummy at the wood-burning stove of Lake view a cup of tea and chat with the other members: cosy. [Read...]

Everything in the car, so less bothered by the high winds on the way. To Natural-high. Snuggle up with the AHD 253 with Ice 4.2 it was on steps, and right away a few times in the air. Water was really super. Nice long lines, not high, but often good style/hollow. Wonderful to own again to do your thing, go boating where you feel like it, thick wind, beautiful spot. [Read...]

No/hardly any wind so my Race board: CAT 380 with R-Type 9.5 rigged and in the rain a good round of dangers about the lauwersmeer. It seems from the side smaller than on the map.

(machine translated in 2018) My first GPA, a famous match with many participants, 2 a 3 laps on the Westeinderplassen. There was good weather predicted, Sun, wind (gusty) and still warm. Jerome would use my new CAT 380, he has a lot more competition experience on racing boards. I took my trusted Team with 9.5 R-Type, went pretty good, knew the water not not tactically and made the best choices. Have fun match dangers, but certainly had higher may end up.

(machine translated in 2018) Minimal wind predicted: 12 a 14 knots just enough for slalom. Heats 1 to 3: not the best starts, and wrong vin, 56 cm gave too little elevator, so speed too low. Heats 4 through 7: Starts went better and speed too, only the top 4 I could really not. Heats 8 t/m 10:8th heat just went well again. 9th too late at the start. 10th: false start. It was a lovely day, was not top fit by a touch of the flu last week. Starts better, but jibes went top, not cases and almost everything doorgeplaneerd. [Read...]


Day 2 of the Dutch Championships in Almere, same wind as yesterday: raceboard. On arrival almost no wind, off-shore. After 11:00 the wind seemed to increase.

Good weather, little wind, but very little the day enjoyed on my AHD GT85 with Warp 8.6 and Deboichet R10 56 cm. Took some getting used to, first few rack, but certainly the first meters, what is that compared to a lively GT85 380 cm Race board. Board feel so loose, find gives as much lift. But after a few rakjes was feeling totally back and I flew over the water. [Read...]
