Today Breda Live festival, but the bands before 18:00 were less interesting and the forecast with 30 to 35 knots was too tempting.
Unfortunately I had forgot my smaller wave boards.
Sailed with the Banzai 3.7 with Fanatic Grip 93, first with 18/10cm thrusters, later with 14.5/10cm quad set-up.
Extreme strong wind! First impression of the Fanatic Grip 93 in these conditions is not bad. Thruster seems to give more controle than as a quad. Almost everyone found it impossible to sail or complained much harder than I did: it was really windy: 50+ kts gusts. [Read...]

Forecast looked good for days, good wind in the afternoon and evening.
Started with the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113 with Supercross 34cm.
In the beginning: minimal, later too big and fast for the waves.
Switched to the Banzai 5.3 on the One 95 with 21/11 thrusters.
Jumping over both sides possible. Back-side wave riding fun. Sometimes even multiple hits on one wave.
One of the best sessions of the year: lovely sunshine, lovely constant wind. [Read...]
