      <description><![CDATA[Wind was predicted SSW, never the best waves, but can be fun. Sun, no rain. 
Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Goya One 95 with 20/10cm thrusters.
Was a lot of fun for a while. Especially sometimes nice multiple hit back-side waveriding.
Unfortunately, the wind dropped completely at the end. Temperature was quite good, even sailed without a cap for a while.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After months too cold, no wind or Carnival. Today finally SW wind again and warm enough. 

Sailed the Banzai 4.7 on the One 95.
Low tide, so relatively flat. Only a bit of jumping and a bit of back-side wave riding.
Jibing on the outside was often a planning jibe.

Timing was very good. After rigging it stayed dry and the wind was good all the time.
Unfortunately my condition is not very good, so I get tired relatively quickly. Wonderful to have sailed again.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today WNW wind predicted, perfect for the Grevelingendam.

Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Goya One 95.
Set was perfect for these conditions, nice and fast, good control and went upwind very well. Often planing jibes. Very occasionally a wave for a small jump.

It was clearly colder than Friday. On Friday with the 4/3 mm it was fine, today with the 5/3mm wetsuit and still cold feet, at the end really hardly any feeling anymore. Unfortunately, mittens and headband were not in the trailer: poorly prepared.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Stopped working early to catch the tail end of Benjamin.
It was quite busy on at the dam: Autumn holidays. 

Sailed with the Banzai 4.2 on the Wave Slate.
Unfortunately almost only swell and no steep waves, so not much for wave riding. Occasionally found something for a back-side hit. The few times the wave was good enough to try front-side

not the best surf condition, so tired relatively quickly. It was nice to sail again. 4.2 was great. Unfortunately there were not very many good waves. So basically, the Wave Slate wasn't the best choice.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Bad weather predicted for Monday: heavy storm with heavy showers. In the morning it turned out to be dry and even blue skys. Wind expected up to 42 knots. So a chance for a nice day.
Sailed with the Banzai 3.7 on the Custom Thruster 81 and K4 Scorcher 20/10cm.
Pfff, wind was very strong, in the beginning really no control. 
Sailed until I was really empty and arms hurt.
Wind was on the edge, it was just possible to sail in. Sometimes just too much, half the time fun sailing.
It was clear blue sky almost all the time, not cold at all. And with 8 surfers, also very quiet.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Good wind forecast for the end of the afternoon. Concert-at-Sea started today, last part of the trip a big traffic jam: 20 minutes delay.
Not a lot of surfers, but wind stronger than Sunday, so time for the 4.2.
Sailed with the Banzai 4.2, first on de Grip 93, later the One 95.
It was a great evening. Unfortunately there was a wind hole for an hour, but otherwise great. Warm, nice waves: great evening.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After a few tropical days, the wind would be very good on Sunday evening. 
Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the One 95 with White Water 8.0 and MFC 11cm thrusters
Get on the board and was planing. First wave, directly jumping. Back towards the beach wave riding. 
It was great. The weather and the water were warm. The wind was good, not too gusty. Waves were quite good, sometimes 1m high and longer lines where multiple hits were possible.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=707&foto=2159"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20250622_blokkendam.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast looked perfect for the Grevelingendam: WNW and 20 knots of wind with little rain.
Sailed the Banazai 5.3 and 4.7 on the Goya One 95.
There were a lot of nice waves. But unfortunately there was also quite a bit of seaweed. I had 3 catapults.
Wind was great, stable and perfect direction for the Grevelingendam. Sun even came through every now and then, no rain. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of seaweed, especially in the shallower water. Time to buy a few weed fins?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Only the 2nd session of the year, and that at the end of May: not the best spring. We have had no SW wind at all. 
Sailed the Banzai 4.2 on the Grip 93 with MFC 20/10 thruster fins.
It was great to have good WSW wind again. And then the first 1.5 hours also clear blue sky: wonderful. Too bad I didn't have a good surfing condition myself, so I was tired quickly.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Very late start of the season. Unfortunately a long time no wind, or just too cold.
Sailed the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113 with MFC 32cm.
Great to finally be surfing again. In retrospect, the Grevelingendam was the best choice. Somehow there was less wind at the sea.
Clear blue sky, lovely sunshine. Not really cold, not needed my mittens.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=704&foto=2154"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20250330_grevelingendam_mfc32.jpg" border="0"></a>

Sailed the S-Type 7.3 on the iSonic 117 with Sonntag 43cm.
Lots of long runs, lots of planing jibes. After 2 hours of almost continuous sailing I was done, I was getting tired.
Unfortunately it was completely overcast, but fortunately no rain and we sailed well with the 7.3.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Storm Bert predicted: 30 to 48 knots, SSW, but dry and very warm for time of year. The wind was quite disappointing.
Sailed the Banzai 4.7 on the Grip 9.3 with MFC 21/11cm thruster fins.
Low tide and south wind, so a long walk to have free wind. Further out, the wind only got stronger and it was hands full. Unfortunately, the wind dropped quickly after the first half hour. At the end I could only plane towards the beach, by using the waves to get into plane. Going out it was no longer possible to plane.
With 16 degrees it was nice and warm, a little bit of sun. Because of that the water felt very fresh.]]></description>

Sailed the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113.
Lots of long runs across the lake. Set was nicely fast. Sailed with sunglasses for the first time.
Top session, lovely sunny, good wind. Yes chilly, it's November! Maybe the One 95 with 5.3 would have been nice too, but now I could try to keep up with friends.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind predicted for hot weekend, Saturday SW and Sunday NW. I was hoping for 6m weather, unfortunately the wind was disappointing, lots of 8+ sails on the water.
For the first time in over 2 years I used the S-Type 8.3. On the iSonic 117 with Busca 46cm, of course.
Wind minimal, sail on minimum trim, not fast but almost always planing.
Cold feet, no more weather for summer shoes.
Not warm, wind unfortunately minimal. Nice to do some planing, but definitely had better days. Nice to see that I can plane quite early with only a 75cm wide board.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the One 95 with MFC 22.5/11cm thrusters
Waves were nothing special, but sometimes a nice front-side hit.
Wonderful to have sailed again. Waves weren't great. Sunshine was lovely.
It was busy for a Monday in November, Belgians had a day off.]]></description>

Except for a few small showers, it was completely dry. Especially the first hour was great, wind was the best and the waves too: top afternoon.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Wave Slate 96 with MFC 16/11 quad.
Wind was very gusty, very often very strong, sometimes almost completely gone.
It was tough, sometimes very hard gusts 30+ knots, other times standing still. Water from almost flat to more than 1.5 meters of waves.
But despite the circumstances, nice sailing and had fun.]]></description>

Sailed the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with MFC 21/11cm
Often beautiful and high waves. Wave riding with left foot front, little experience and front-side I can't go in that direction.
Short session, still a bit tired from yesterday morning good wind again.
Nice to ride wave left foot in front, I definitely need to practice more often. Waves were really nice and high at times.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind was predicted SW and would turn to south around 1 or 2 o'clock. So you want to sail before 1. 
Doubted between te 4.2 and 4.7.
Sailed the Banzai 4.2 on the Grip 93 with MFC 20/10 thrusters.
I couldn't plane all the time, wind sometimes really dropped.
Wind was very gusty and turned a bit, but the weather was very nice. It was very busy with a lot of surfing buddies on the water!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For weeks there was little wind and a lot of rain and unfortunately I couldn't get away from work at the moments when there was wind.
Today finally good wind.
Sailed the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with 21/10 MFC Thrusters
Some steep waves for jumping, and others for an occasional back-side hit.
It was a tick overcloud, but the wind was very constant. It was super busy and that made the water even more choppy.
Sailed through until I was completely empty: nice.]]></description>

4.2 would have been better. Luckily not much rain, but a bit chilly, compared to last weekend. Was a fun session.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=688&foto=2146"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2024_04_09_blokkendam.jpg" border="0"></a>

I'm getting more and more friends with the Grip, I'll put Dakine Core Contours on it.

It was cold, really cold. In the beginning even with mittens on cold fingers. The wind was a lot better than yesterday and it was a lot busier on the water.]]></description>

Used a lot of equipment: Banzai 6.0, 5.3 and 4.7.
In the beginning very gusty, then 1.5 an hour of good sailing. Menno and Jurjen have also done a lot of re-rigging.
It wasn't very cold, we sailed almost all the time without mittens. After stopping, the hail came and the temperature dropped quickly. Even with the neoprene jacket on, I had cold hands: brr.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the One 95 with MFC 25/8 thrusters.
Wind was WSW, so mainly sailing along the beach. Because of the direction you could find waves on both sides to jump. In general, the water was very flat.
While jumping, almost hit Gert-Jan.
Nice start of the year. Nice session, too bad there were so few waves.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=682&foto=2135"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20230103_blokkendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[The wind had turned more to the south. Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Goya One 95.
Outwards almost sailing square into the waves. But that also offers opportunities: front-side wave riding. It turned out to be a great day for front-side wave riding.
Collision with Henk: no damage.
After high tide is was lovely. Amazing how many times I was able to ride front-side today. Often 2 or 3 times per run: learned a lot.
It was extremely gusty, but the 4.7 was a good choose.
In retrospect, the last hour was perhaps the best hour of the day.]]></description>

Not early on the dam. It was quite busy.

Sailed on until the wind began to die down and it became dusk.

The Brouwersdam with a little north is always better than the Grevelingendam with a little south.
Used the Banzai 5.3, first on the F-Cross 113, later with the Goya One 95.
It was lovely, wind fairly constant, lots of sun: delicious.
Next time with this direction: start at Brouwersdam itself, and sail from there towards the lighthouse.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=678&foto=2123"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20231115_blokkendam_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Unfortunately, the wind turned out to be just a bit southerly, so there was hardly any wind near the shore. When I arrived, the wind wasn't there yet. There were also a lot of showers, so I doubted I should turn around and go home.
Did a lot of equipment trimming. Sail with the Banzai 4.7 on both the Goya One 95 and the Fanatic Grip 93. Tried a lot of different fins.
Luckily the rain wasn't too bad, wind wasn't super gusty. Unfortunately, the direction was just not right, so we really not possible to plane near the shore. It was nice on the water.]]></description>

Good wind and SW forecast today.
Sailed the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with MFC 22.5/10cm fins.
Unintentionally caused a problem for a kiter, bummer.
Wind direction was only good for a short time, usually bit too south. Luckily almost no rain.
Wind was wonderfully constant.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=676&foto=2118"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20231003_blokkendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Prediction: WNW: so Grevelingendam.
Started with the Bazai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113, tested different fins, long runs to the other side of the lake.  Later switched to the Bazai 5.3 on the Goya One 95A lot of jumping, sometimes some waveriding. Just enjoyed and played.
Sailed on until my energy ran out.
Clearly colder than yesterday, but in the sun it was still wonderful. Had no rain. Wind was nice and constant.
Lovely day!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast was 25 to 42 knots SW
Sailed with the Banzai 4.2 on the JP Slate with MFC QS300/11cm
Just before high tide onto the water. First bit of bobbing, then planing. Wind was just a little too south for the best conditions. Later rain and very strong winds!
Sailed until the wind was gone and had to float back to the shore.
Bizarrely gusty. Bizarrely different waves, Bizarrely heavy shower. But sometimes really enjoy the waves. Lots of waveriding. If it was good, it was really really good!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Couldn't leave early, had to leave on time, but forecast looked very good.
Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Slate 94 with MFC 300/10cm quad fins.
Good choice, especially in the beginning: great. Even sailing out already some waveriding: I don't do that enough.
Back to the beach a lot of nice waves for 1 or 2 back-side hits. Many beautiful waves up to a meter high or just a little more. 2nd run in, 2 attempts front-side because the waves were so beautiful. Finished with sail on minimum trim and last bit of bobbing back to the beach.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 and Goya One 95. Started with the MFC 21/11 fins and ended with the Makani 26/8 fins.
I had to leave on time. Wonderful saiing. Not the nicest day at sea, very flat water. But good wind and wonderfully warm. Hopefully waves again next time.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind would turn from SW to WNW. Around 12:00 to 13:00 the wind would be WNW. So from 13:00 perfect for the Grevelingendam. On arrival a shower had just passed and the wind was gone. Lots of 5.3 sails on the water. Chosen to start with 6.0.
Sailed with the Banzai 6.0 on the Patrick 113. Tried different fins: Select Supercross 34cm, Select Freecarve 31cm and MFC Freewave 29cm.
Very impressed with the jibing qualities of the F-Cross 113.
In the beginning it was very gusty because of the showers and I was afraid that it would never really get dry. Fortunately, after 14:00 the weather was wonderful, still had quite a lot of sun and not cold at all. Had a great afternoon.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=671&foto=2112"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20231003_grevelingendam.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Finally wind again. Unfortunately, the forecast on the day itself was less than hoped for, but enough to sail nicely. Opted for 5.3, but in the beginning I should have taken the 6.0. First sailed with the F-Cross 133, later used the Goya One 95.
It was very gusty. Wind direction not best for the Blokkendam, but this makes it possible for down-the-line waveriding. Apart from the very heavy shower, the weather was wonderful.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Not a perfect prediction, Grevelingendam best for this prediction.
Started with the Banzai 4.7 on the Goya One 95, wind was disappointing so switched to the F-Cross 113. Then the wind really came through and rigged the 3.7 on the Goya 81. Wind fell away again: not cool.
No desire to wait or rig.
With only 14/15 degrees it was not warm. A lot of showers and therefore very variable winds.
Often just made the wrong choice in terms of stuff. Not my best day.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today's forecast: 36 knots of wind from the southwest. 
I started with the 4.2 sail on the JP Slate 96 board with a quad setup with my new MFC rear fins. The wind was strong, great for testing out the Slate as Quad. Waves were plentiful for back-side waveriding. As the tide came in, waves got bigger, up to 1.5 meters. Eventually, the wind became too strong for the 4.2 sail: switched to the Goya Custom Thruster 81 board but then the wind had dropped. I returned to the JP Slate 96 as the wind picked up. 
Overall, a great day on the water. Made a mistake with the Goya 81, would have been better to use it earlier.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=668&foto=2111"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/blokkendam_2023-08-02_quad_set.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Finally good wind from the right direction: WSW, perfect for the Brouwersdam.
Sailed the Banzai 4.2 on the Wave Slate 96, first as thruster, later tried quad setup.
Not expecting that we would really get 40+ knots.
Impressed with the control of the Slate 96. With 40+ knots still just golfing, board never felt too big.
First time sailing the Wave Slate as a quad, I liked it quite a bit, I'll try it more often.
It was wonderful to have a really good wave session again: enjoyed.]]></description>

Sailed the E-Type 6.6 on the F-Cross 113 with Select 35cm. Long runs towards the lighthouse of Ouddorp, jibing and back again. I could easily get upwind so I was further from the dunes and the wind was better. 
Less wind than predicted and hoped for, but wonderfully sailed. Lovely sun wind not too gusty.
The F-Cross works very well with the 6.6, so this iSonic 101 is now for sale.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=666&foto=2110"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20230702_blokkendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

Sailed with the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113 with Select 35cm
Wind was disappointing: Really only bobbing. For a while constantly planing. Later, the wind subsided again.
No other windsurfers seen.
Unfortunately I only had 3 sails with me, I had left the trailer at home because I could not easily get it out of the garage today.
With 25 degrees clear blue sky, it was wonderful weather.]]></description>

The F-Cross 113 didn't feel too big for the Banzai 5.3.

With the F-Cross, wonderfully long runs. Water relatively flat. With the One 95, jumping and back-side waveriding.
I sailed on until I was empty. Just been sick so condition hadn't returned yet. It was delicious. A bit gusty though. But with clear blue sky and wind from the right direction, it was lovely.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today more wind predicted than yesterday. Sailed with the 3.7 and tested with the Custom3 81 en AHD 253.
Started with the Custom3, more work for the knees in the tricky chop. The AHD sails easier, but harder to jibe and to get planing.
Both are fun for waveriding.
The Chop was tricky, hardly any sun. Not really very cold either.
It was wonderful to sail in a storm again. Good test of the 2 high-wind waveboards. That AHD remains a level apart.
It was fun with many friends on the water.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=658&foto=2092"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20230325_blokkendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Very good wind predicted in the afternoon. Used my Banzai 4.2 on the Wave Slate 96 with 18/12cm fins.
Waves were still a bit low in the beginning, they slowly got higher, even half an hour really beautiful waves: long lines. After that, it became more chaos chop. 
After the wind decreased, I stopped. More wind tomorrow. Save a little energy.
It was delicious. Clear blue sky, even if it was only 12 degrees, it didn't feel cold at all. Wind was a bit gusty, but because of the range of the Banzai I didn't have to change. Great day!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I arrived to find some windsurfers struggling in the 40-45kn SW winds. I stubbornly  chose to rig my 4.2m sail, though it was too big for the conditions even with max trim. The gusts were nearly unmanageable. After switching to my 3.7 sailing was good and I was able to handle the gusts. Managed to land some backside hits. I enjoyed discovering the potential of the Thruster 81 combo. Next time I'll be sure to bring my old AHD too, for some back-to-back comparison!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Finally suitable conditions, after a long cold period. With temperatures up to 11 degrees and a SW wind, I was able to test the F-Cross 113 with Banzai 6.0 and the FX Freecarve 31cm fin. I was able to get planing with a bit of effort. The fin felt a bit too small for the amount of wind, making upwind sailing hard even with minimumd trim. Towards the end the wind improved, planing got a lot easier, but it unfortunately did not last long. The board showed promise, but I'll definitely have to try it out with a bigger fin and better wind conditions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[2nd day sailing on St Martin. The wind seems a little stronger.
Same set packed to start with: Ezzy Cheetah 6.0 on Fanatic Blast 130 with Finnish 46cm.
Direct planing from the beach, wind just as good as yesterday when I stopped. I just didn't pay attention and was almost immediately on the reef, so immediately downwind to stay in the bay.
Wind was clearly stronger. Unfortunately, there was a lot more weed, really 2 or 3x as much. So I had to stop a lot more to get weed off the fin. Really about 3 to 4 times per run.
Again was delicious, set worked well, a weedfin would have been nice.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=654&foto=2078"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20230209_blast130_ezzy60.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[During a week visiting a friend on St Maarten, chance to go windsurfing. Unfortunately there was only a limited number of boards and sails available, I sailed with an Ezzy Cheetah 6.0 on a Fanatic Blast 130. The wind was a a bit light for 6.0. But I still managed to plane nicely with minimal wind. Occasionally a little weed. It was a real pleasure to sail in the warm, crystal clear water, even with the lesser equipment. Occasionally I even saw flying fish.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=653&foto=2076"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2023-02-08_robert2.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[I had a great start to the season today. It was dry with solid SW winds, forecasted to be between 35-48 knots. Most surfers were sailing with 3.2-3.5 sails, I used the 4.2 and the Goya Thruster 81. The waves were beautiful, with some long lines for a couple of backside hits. Jumping conditions weren't the best, but still some nice jumps. Wind picked up later on which made it necessary to trim the sail in further, but the Banzai 4.2 had a great range. I sailed until I was completely exhausted - the perfect start to the season!]]></description>

5.3 was the largest size I had with me. With minimal trim in the 5.3 I could always plane, but 6.0 would have been better.
Not cold, no rain while sailing. Unfortunately, the direction was very SO.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 4.2 on the Slate 96 and MFC 20/12cm fins.
Quite nice sailing, despite the gusty wind and all that rain. Sailed with cap and gloves, but not really cold yet.
The Wave Slate 96 certainly didn't feel too big, although I never really had much power.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The afternoon before Dam-X: slalom start training. Starting line, and 2 buoys: improve start timing, round the first mark, back to the start for another round. Wind minimal, sailed with S-Type SL, iSonic 117 and Busca 46cm.
Starts started to improve again.
Wind minimal, not cold at all.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[WNW wind, 20 to 25 knots predicted. Perfect for the Grevelingendam. Sailed with the E-Type 6.6 and iSonic 101.
First time since more then a year that I had sailed with this set, took some time find the right trim. 
Unfortunately, the wind that had been predicted did not come. But it was good to sail the slalom board again, and try to sail as fast as possible. Definitely a good training for Dam-X next week.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Increasing wind forecast all day, finally SW again. Aimed to be in Zeeland at the end of the afternoon, when the wind would exceed 20 knots.
Sailed with the Banzai 6.0 and JP FSW 102. Wind seemed a bit minimal for a 6.0, but with increasing wind that should only take some time before the sail should be big enough. Unfortunately, the wind direction stayed/was too south. It was still quite warm, sumer wetsuit. But wind was a bit disappointing. prediction was much better.]]></description>

It was a lot better today than it was yesterday. Water still a very choppy and chaos, but that is actually always when the wind is not completely north. Only a one short shower, quite a bit of sun and wind quite stable.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast: starting Friday afternoon all weekend strong wind NW, up to 40 knots. But with a lot of rain. Tried to sail with the Banzai 4.7 and Goya One 95.
Perhaps worst/most difficult day ever. 35 to 40 knots predicted and then having to wait for the wind more then sailing. Thick showers and wind: so occasionally there was wind for 10 minutes and then completely gone for a while. Did I mention hail already.]]></description>

It was short, but tasty. Too bad about the rain at the end. My front-side waveriding is improving.]]></description>

Already on the beach it was clear that wind was very minimal. I was still hoping that the wind would come back.
Unfortunately, it was mainly a lot of bobbing.
Sometimes you are lucky, today was certainly not such a day.]]></description>

Sailed with the Banzai 6.0 and JP FSW 102. Water generally very flat. In the gusts, the board easily got upwind. Planing jibing was often very easy. It was already nice and warm, winter suit was even warm, first time this year with summer boots. Wind was quite gusty, big wind holes.]]></description>

Set worked very well. Control and range very good. A bit of back-side riding. Waves never high enough for front-side. It was nice to really sail with a small sail again.]]></description>

Sailed with JP FSW 102 and Banzai 5.3.
Nice sailing. Little rain, no sun, cold. Wind through the showers somewhat variable. It was nice that there were like 10 surfers on the water.]]></description>

Sailed with iSonic 117 and S-Type 8.3. The 8.3 turned out to be a good choice, could almost always plane.
Certainly not the wind that had been predicted, but with a lot of sun it was a wonderful November afternoon. No gloves or cap needed. Not even used my winter shoes.]]></description>

Sailed with: Goya One Pro 95 and Banzai 5.3. The 5.3 was a bit small for the conditions.
Wind was disappointing, more was predicted. No sun or rain, but not really cold either.]]></description>

Sailed: iSonic 117 with S-Type 7.3 and SL-X 43cm.
It was raining almost all the time, wind gusty. Certainly not a good day, but nice to have sailed again.]]></description>

Wind was disappointing: sailed the Banzai 6.0, with FSW 102 en Goya One 95. For freeride, the FSW 102 is clearly more fun.
Few steep waves, only mostly swell. A bit of jumping, but mostly nice long runs. Nice sailing.]]></description>

Wind was N/NW, so heading out was going down the waves, on the way back full against the chop. Tough conditions for the knees. Sailed until I could hardly plane anymore.
Were a few nice hours. Half the runs it was though sailing.]]></description>

Started with iSonic 101 with E-Type 6.6 and SL-X 36cm, in the beginning that was good, later wind decreased.
Switched to the  iSonic 117 with S-type 7.3 and SL-X 43cm, unfortunately, it was short-lived. 
Always rigged just too small, always expected that the wind would come. The wind did not come so always sailed just too small.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I had expected to go to the Grevelingendam, ended up driving to the sea.
Sailed entire afternoon with the Banzai 5.3. Almost all the time with the Goya One Pro 95. Tried the JP FSW 84 Pro again. I understand again why I have been a fan of the JP Freestylewave for so long. The Goya is clearly better at wave riding, and still fun for bump-n-jump, but the Goya is just bigger and jumps a little less easily. It was nice, in the beginning unfortunately still rain. But at the end clear blue sky.
Few really good waves, but still quite a bit of jumping and also occasional waveriding.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After a nice Friday afternoon/evening wind was predicted for the entire Saturday. In the morning some showers, so after that it should be very good. Sailed with the Goya One Pro 95, Banzai 4.7 with 19/11 thruster set.
In the beginning the wind was still fairly gusty, started with minimum trim, ended with over max trim.
Waves were a bit variable, depending on the wind strength and direction: sometimes nice waves for waveriding.
Sailed all day with the same set. Stopped because there was a heavy shower coming.
I should have changed to the 4.2, at the end the 3.7 would have been better.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=610&foto=2027"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20210808_blokkendam_henk_slaa.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast: all day 20 to 22 knots of wind, turning SSW to WZW.
Started with the Goya One Pro 95 and Banzai 4.7, ended with the TriWave 89 and Banzai 4.2.
Best waveriding so far: back-side to front-side ending wit a perfect lip hit.
It was great, especially after 16:30 when the sky turned blue, the wind direction perfect, finally again. I should have switched to the 4.2 much earlier. That was much better and less tiring.
That perfect front-side hit, I'll have a smile on that for a very long time to go.
Sunday hopefully again z'n day.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=609&foto=2026"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20210806_blokkendam.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[finally: SSW to SW 20 to 32 knots predicted: looking forward to it.
Sailed with Fanatic Tri-Wave 89 with Banzai 4.2 and MFC 19/10cm fins.
Wind started south. With the tide came in, the waves become more fun, waveriding, more jumping. I made a couple of front-side attempts.
It was a lovely day. The wind was gusty, waves often not great, but finally the right direction.
The Tri-Wave certainly did not disappoint with the 4.2. Next time more head-to-head testing with the JP FSW 84 to compare them.]]></description>

Wind seemed a bit minimal for the 6.0, sailed with the JP FSW 102 with Banzai 6.0 and MFC 29cm.
Water was not flat, a bit low, but tricky chop. Occasionally I could find a steep wave and I was able to jump, not much for waveriding Together with Ron and Stefan did some duck-gybe practice.
Set was often a bit small, even with minimal trim. Very little floating.
Nice sailing, unfortunately few nice waves to play with. Unfortunately, no sun.]]></description>

First time with the Goya One 3 Pro 95 at sea. Sailed with my Banzai 5.3 and MFC 21/12cm fins.
Wind was super constant. A lot of nice waves to jump and some for wave riding. Fins might have been a little large. Jumping took some getting used to: shorter board. Waveriding was great: board turns tight without spintouts, especially for a board this size. 
Sailed until I was completely empty.
Unfortunately little to no sun, but otherwise a perfect afternoon, enjoyed!
Hopefully I will be able to sail the Goya One 3 Pro 95 at sea again soon. Next time hopefully with SW wind.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=606&foto=2024"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/200622_brouwersdam_henk_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Sailed the iSonic 117 with S-Type 7.3 and SL-X 43cm.
After every gybe, it was bobbing. Waiting for a gust and then a couple of pumps to get planing. Hopefully helped by a wave. Once planing I could usually plane the whole length of the beach. Very long runs. 
It was tiring sailing, the chop/waves and also a lot of pumping to get planing.
Temperature was quite good but unfortunately no sun at all. Wind was not as strong as predicted, but still a nice session.]]></description>

With southerly winds, you need to get upwind to have more space and a bit more free wind. Once past the surf centre, long stretches, could be sailed along the sandbank and the island. Sailed most of the time with Jeroen. In the harder gusts I really had to give more outhaul and the 48cm was really too big. But most of the time the fin made it very easy to get planing.
Wind was gusty and was gone too soon, but the temperature was lovely, winter wetsuit was too hot.

Everyone was sailing in the narrow part, so quite busy and paying close attention. The wind increased so tried the SLX 41cm. Wind increased more, a smaller set had to be possible. FSW 102 with Banzai 6.0 and MFC 29cm. Good choice, light set, much easier in the chop. 
Almost ripped the strap of the harness.

      <description><![CDATA[Sailed the same set as yesterday: JP FSW 102 with Goya Banzai 6.0 and MFC 29cm
Improved the trim for better upwind. It was almost a repeat of yesterday, wind a little less, waves just a little nicer. Less jumping, but more back-side waveriding. It was sometimes possible to get 2 to 3 hits on 1 wave.
Sailed until the 6.0 with minimum trim was again too small to be able to plane properly.
Seen a seal, very close to the beach.
Less sun, so colder, wind was quite good, nice sailing. When are we going to get SW wind again?<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=602&foto=2011"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20210425_Brouwersdam1.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind forecasted for early evening.
Sailed with the JP FSW 102 with Goya Banzai 6.0 and MFC 29cm
Fairly flat water. Beyond the measuring pole, the water became a bit more restless, but not as bad as last week. Here you could sometimes find nice steep waves for some waveriding. 
It was dry, sometimes a bit of sun, cold, but didn't need gloves, even sailed a bit without the cap. Later, with the sun dropping, it got a bit colder.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[N to NNE 16 to 21 knots predicted. Sailed with the iSonic 101 and E-Type 6.6. Started with the SL-X 34cm, later switched to the Busca. As always, tricky chop/waves at Perry's, especially beyond the measuring pole, and with the iSonic only more difficult. Really had to get used to the circumstances.
Clear blue sky, good wind. Fortunately, no high shore break today, so easy in and out of the water, that's not always the case at Perry's.
I was able to save a Belgian surfer his session by borrowing a fin.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=600&foto=2006"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20210416_perrys.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[For today strong winds predicted, SW, should be a beautiful day at sea. Good time to test the Tri-Wave 89, along with the Banzai 4.2. Started with MFC 19/12cm fins.
Board sailed a lot better than last time, other fins, different footstraps.
A lot of waveriding, a bit of jumping. Wind became stronger and more gusty. Water chaotic during incoming tide.
Tried some other fins: MFC 19/10cm, which seemed to give more control, although the wind also seemed to have decreased and sea more calm.
It was cold, unfortunately no sun. Wind was strong an very gusty.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast was max 8 degrees in the afternoon and WNW, so perfect for the Grevelingendam.
Jurjen was sailing with 5.3, so took the Banzai 4.7. Good opportunity to try my own Goya One 3 Pro 95. Used the original 21/11cm fins. Nice board, enough volume, jumps easy, only in the air I notice that I have to get used to it.
It was cold, but with the sun it was ok. Unfortunately not the perfect wind direction, but nice sailing. Very happy with the One 95.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=598&foto=2003"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20210327_one3pro_banzai47a.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[After yesterdays storm, today WNW 5 bft, perfect conditions for Grevelingendam, no sun and therefore slightly colder. Sailed the FSW 102 with Banzai 6.0, had to use the AL360 180-230 boom. Started with minimum trim. Slowly the wind increased. Increased the trim, took a smaller vin, that helped. Later changed to the lower outhaul. Trim range of the Banzai is really huge. It was fun, a little cruising. Nice to have sailed on the Grevelingendam again.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Again a lot of wind, with Jeroen went to Kabbelaarsbank, where Jurjen later also joined.
Sailed AHD with 3.7 and Wave Warrior 22cm again. 
Wind was strong, especially in the gusts sometimes spicy. Lovely jumping in the low steep waves. 
Gybing went clearly better than Thursday. Sailed until I started bobbing/sinking too often with the AHD, not a good idea: time to stop. It was lovely, not too gusty, lots of sun, but colder than Thursday.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast was 9 bft in the morning it turned out that the wind in the afternoon would be less extreme.
Water looked like there was a storm, foam flying through the air: AHD with Banzai X 3.7.
It was still high tide, so big shore break. I was far too tense at first. After a break, things got better. Sailed until I stood still too often, with the extra Corona kilos the AHD sank even faster, so wise moment to stop. I was pretty tired, too.
It was a great afternoon. Lots of sun, wind a little extreme. Bit rusty.]]></description>

Wind was mainly at the other side of the lake, so sailed on other side most of the time.
A lot of seals seen just about every rakje there was a head above water somewhere.
I have seen a lot of Seals today, almost every run I could see a head above water somewhere.
Sailed until the sun was almost gone and the temperature dropped rapidly.

It wasn't very long, wind certainly wasn't ideal, but it was nice to have been back on the water. Lots of sun, 10 degrees when I started.]]></description>

Sailed with the iSonic 117 with S-Type SL 7.3 and SL-X 41cm
Getting away from the shore was a bit tricky, wind was directly on-shore.
Sail turned out to be a bit too big in the gusts. So increased the time to past max, that helped. In the channel, and especially in front of the cottage park, as often, the water was chaotic, waves from 2 sides, very difficult and heavy to sail through. Jibes usually went well, but not always planing.
Sailed until was about to rain. It was, good, but it was heavy.]]></description>

Near the beach no wind, further from the beach enough wind to get planing with some pumps. No waves for waveriding, but few small waves to chop-hop. Wind was minimal, bigger set would be better: switch to the FSW 102. Stayed far away from the beach because the wind there was clearly a lot better further out.
In retrospect, the 6.0 would have been better, but still had a good session. Was first time the weather was really cold.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=592&foto=1972"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201121_triwave89a.jpg" border="0"></a>

It was bobbing and planning, wind quite gusty, maybe the 7.3 too small. A couple of pumps and I could get planing most of the times. Practiced a lot on tacking. Went really really well, 9 out of 10 attempts went well. Wind was SSE, so yes, gusty, but it was not cold, dry and often some sun. Lovely sailing. Impressed by the SL-X 41cm.]]></description>

Reasonable waves to jump and wave to ride. In terms of wind a repeat of yesterday, with the 4.2 clearly a better choice. Wind was eventually directly onshore and that with a nearly 1 meter shore break it was a bit tricky to get out. Which of course some surfers didn't see or know were thrown back on the beach by the waves.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=590&foto=1977"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201102_blokkendam_heigh_tide.jpg" border="0"></a>

Slugging back to the beach and walk of shame back over the beach. Took the FSW 102, wind came back quickly. Took the FSW 84 again. Until the wind was really too hard: 3.7 on the FSW 84. Not the right choice, back to 4.7.
Was quite entertaining, but definitely not my best day.

Doubted for a long while what to rig, eventually choose the iSonic 117 with S-Type SL 7.3.
Wind was south, so gusty. 7.3 wasn't bad, in the gusts I could easily plane with the 7.3. In the wind holes Jurjen also stood still with 9.3, so the 8.3 might have helped a bit, but certainly not everything. Was especially nice cruising. With 11 to 12 degrees and no sun a little chilly.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind again to south, no rain, went to Blokkendam together with Jurjen.
Sailed with the FreestyleWave 102 and Banzai 5.3. Water was pretty flat, only occasionally a low steep wave. That was a lot of fun jumping. Hardly any waves for waveriding. Very impressed with the 5.3 in minimum trim.
Today somewhere in the middle between the sandbar and the beach, I fell into the water, I could stand there: 1.5 meters deep during low tide: bizarre.
Sailed until the wind was gone. Nice day, not really a wave day, more freeride, but dry and not cold, and wind not too gusty.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=587&foto=1960"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201024_blokkendam_jurjen1.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[In the afternoon wind, in the morning rain, so was at the dam around 13:30.
Sailed with the FSW 84 and Banzai 4.2 with different fins. Today rigged the 4.2 on the CAAS mast.
Wind came straight from the south, as always not the best wind for the Blokkendam, going out sometimes nice waves to jump and to inside some waves for nice back-wind wave riding. Wind turned slowly to SW, jumping was often good over both directions.
Sailed until I was completely done.
Great afternoon, lovely sailing. Pretty good conditions, warm, only the wind direction was not perfect and therefore gusty.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=586&foto=1958"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201021_blokkendam_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Nice freemove session, bit of jumping, lang runs to the other side of the lake. Wind was turning a lot, it was gusty. It was especially pleasant to sail with some friends again.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=585&foto=1955"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201010_kabbelaarsbank_banza60.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Today southwest wind predicted the best direction and also slightly more than Tuesday.
Sailed with the JP FSW 84 and Banzai 4.2. At first not many waves, but when the tide came up the waves also increased. I could jump both ways. It was really enjoyable. Especially when the wind was exactly southwest and the waves got better. Sailed until I was completely empty.
Extra bonus: Watched the release of a couple of Seal pups at the Gorsje.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=584&foto=1957"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20201009_blokkendam_zeehonden.jpeg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[I had to go home on time, so early (10 hours) in Zeeland. Winds would turn from south to west around 11 a.m. and increase. Started with the Ultimate Wave 94 with Banzai 4.7. Wind still minimal, so sail at minimum trim. Water was very flat, so really boring with the UW, so took the FSW 102. Wind minimal, until a heavy shower came over. After that, the wind quickly increased and waves also came. Good time to test the UW 94 again. Obviously not comfortable yet on the UW 94. So took the FSW 84, but it just turned out to be tricky conditions.
Not the best conditions.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Decreasing wind, on arrival, surfers where still planing with 5.0, so started with JP FSW 102 with Banzai 5.3. 6.0 would have been better. Water very flat.
Wind decreased a lot, so switched to iSonic 101 with e-Type 6.6. Sometimes the 6.6 was minimal, but mostly it was delicious. Towards the end, the tide came in and the waves increased. That sometimes made it harder. Sailed until the wind dropped to much I could hardly plane anymore.
Little too flat water at sea for my liking, with these kinds of conditions I like sailing on the lake side much better, less sand. But I did have a good time.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind was predicted south, not the best direction for Blokkendam, I was early so first on the water. Good moment to test the Ultimate Wave 94 with the Banzai 4.7. 
Water was very flat, boring with the UW. Once on a wave the board had a lot of grip, turns tight. Wind increased until the 4.7 was overpowered, switched to the FreestyleWave 84 with Banzai 3.7. Because it wasn't that extreme, the FSW 84 worked really well.
Unfortunately the waves were low, style and close behind each other. In contrast the back-side wave riding was very nice. Nice morning.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[East wind, but nice few hours sailing. Choice of kit was easy: biggest: iSonic 117 with S-Type 8.3 and SL-P 46cm
Wind on the shore not very strong, but on the other side clearly stronger. So mostly stayed on the other side of the lake. Actually the first 1/3rd was too little wind and bobbing while further out it was lovely. Sailed until the wind died off and I could not plane anymore.
For east wind it was very nice sailing, not at all that gusty.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Big storm expected, up to 9 bft. Sailed with Jurjen at the Grevelingendam. In the beginning, the wind wasn't WNW yet, so started with the JP FSW 102 with Banzai 5.3. Close to the shore bobbing, on the edge of the shallow water: strong winds. Sailed until the wind turned and increased.
Switched to the AHD with Banzai 4.2, the 4.2 ended up being trimmed over max, it sailed very well between the hardest gusts. The strongest gusts were extreme. Jumping, back-side waveriding: Enjoying it. 
Grevelingendam can be really nice spot.
Steven and Yentel gave a demonstration of why they are pro surfers.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Prediction was 12 to 16 knots, enough to cruise with big sails in the afternoon.
Sailed with the iSonic 117 with S-Type 8.3, started with the SL-X 43cm, later switched to the SL-P 46cm.
Step on and was planing directly, wind direction perfect: WNW, so in the bay good wind. Fun racing back and forth with Boris and Hans. Hans was often just a little faster, Boris just a little slower. Especially if we had to get upwind, I couldn't keep up with Hans. The SL-P 46cm ran so much more free.
It took some getting used to the big sail. But it's nice to have long runs with some surfing buddies.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In the afternoon good wind predicted, Martijn was on vacation, good time to go surfing at Kabbelaarsbank.
Prediction was 25 to 32 knots SW. Started with JP FSW 102 with Banzai 5.3 and Makani 26cm. Freeride, bit chop-hopping. When the wind increased, switched to the FSW 84. Freemove, jumping, bit of wave riding: enjoying.
Rescued somebody. 
It was nice to have sailed with Martijn again. In retrospect, the 4.7 would surely have been better.]]></description>

Sailed with the JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.2 and Select 21cm/Makani 8cm. Tricky shore-break, took a bit of focus and timing. The water was chaotic: a lot of moving water, high swell, but few steep waves, and certainly no long lines. Bit of jumping, bit of back-side waveriding. Sailed until I was completely empty.
It was really a great day, wind was relatively stable. never too strong, never not planing for long. Lots of jumping.
No sunshine, but also no rain.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After almost 1.5 years since I last sailed at Grevelingendam.
Around noon the storm was going to decrease a bit, making surfing possible. Sailed with JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.2 and MUF 20/Makani 10cm.
Typical Grevelingendam conditions, lots of short steep waves. Often nice jumping. Really delicious bump-n-jump. Wave riding wasn't really possible, yes sometimes a single back-side hit, tricky with the waves so close to each other, often you're already past the wave after a bottom-turn. 
Very nice sailing sailing, good to have sailed at the Grevelingendam with the small kit again.]]></description>

Used the JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.2 and Freewave 21/makani 10cm.
Inward there were lots of nice waves to play and waveride, especially back-side wave riding was great, some runs almost al the way in: back to back wave riding from wave to wave. Going out, the waves were also getting more beautiful and higher, some nice high jumps. 
Lovely evening, was often really perfect, very nice waves.]]></description>

Sailed with JP FSW 102 with Goya Banzai 5.3 and Makani 26cm. In retrospect, I should have taken the 5.9. Some nice little waves. So could make some small jumps. Not much waves for riding.
Wind was too west for the best conditions at Blokkendam. Wind slowly subsided, could only plane in the gusts. Nice end to a wonderful weekend. Wind was not great, but with the 5.3 and FSW 102 very much enjoyed it.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=573&foto=1937"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20200823_blokkendam_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Sailed all day with the JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.2 and Freewave 21/makani 10cm.
Great sailing, lots of beautiful waves to ride or jump. Lots of back-side waveriding, some frontside riding. The 4.2 was perfect, sometimes it was a bit tricky, some gusts really hard, but mostly it was a lot of fun sailing.
Temperature was still nice and warm, water was still nice and warm, sunshine was shining: Great day.]]></description>

Started with JP Ultimate Wave 94 with Banzai 5.3 and MFC 21/11 fins, First time with the Ultimate Wave as thruster was not disappointing, clearly better than as a quad. Later switch for a 22cm center fin, sailed until the wind decreased. Then grabbed the JP FSW 102. Wind slowly increased, so switched back to the Ultimate Wave.
Never before, 2/2 short arm wetsuits was too warm, so stupid to forget my shorty. 
Not quite convinced by the Ultimate Wave 94.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A lot of wind predicts. On arrival it certainly didn't look very extreme. Most surfers sailed 3.5 to 4.0, so took the 3.7, so took the AHD with Banzai 3.7 and Select 22cm. Set was almost spot on from the start. Jumping went really well with left foot in front. Lots of back-side wave riding. Couple of times nice waves near the beach and attempted some front-side wave riding, and that succeeded a few times. 
It was nice, lots of sun, no rain, sailed until I was really completely empty. It was really enjoyable.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=570&foto=1935"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/blokkendam_20200705_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Good winds predicted in the afternoon.
Started with the JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.7 and MUF 20/11.5cm fins.
Wind was minimal, a few jumps and a few back-side waverides, but nothing special. Wind slowly dropped even further. Nice time to sail the JP Ultimate Wave 94 for the first time.
Sailed the JP Ultimate Wave 94 as quad, not my preference. Sailing was reasonable in itself, but for me it is not yet relaxed. Lots of wind holes, so more and more bobbing.
Sailed until the wind was really too soft to be able to plane.
Few fine runs, but mostly it was moderate.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Good wind predicted, on arrival 4.7 seemed to be right size. Started with the JP Single Thruster 99 with Banzai 4.7. Get up and planing from the beach. Some beautiful waves for wave riding. Also nice jumping. Wind slowly increased so could easily use a smaller board: JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.7. Get out, planing and jump right away. Wind seemed to increase even more. Could jump over both tacks, back to the beach there were quite a lot of nice waves for back-side wave riding. Nice afternoon, nicely warm, good wind, really enjoyed it.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Prediction was wind until 14:00 and then decreasing. Sailed with the iSonic 101 with E-Type 6.6. From the shore, I could plane almost immediately. A little further from the shore immediately nice power in the sail. Set sailed nicely. Wind increased, sail become too big. Switched to FSW 102 with Banzai 5.3 
Step on: plane, first wave: jump. Planing jibes also quickly went well. Sail feels so much lighter than the 6.6, Was good, more wind than predicted, it did not decrease, but actually increased. Nice bit of freeriding. After three days I was getting really tired, it was a good weekend.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=567&foto=1948"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20200524_fsw103_goya53b.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Today's weather predicted wind, slowly increasing. Wind a bit less then day before. So took the JP FSW 84 with Banzai 4.7.
On the beach the wind wasn't enough to get planing, a little further out I could get planing, but only on my toes. Time to take the bigger board: JP FSW 102. Normally I wouldn't sail the FSW 102 with a 4.7. But given the limited time the fastest option to plane more easily. Delicious bump-n-jump conditions. It was very busy, a lot of friends on the water.  Corona still makes it a bit less cozy.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=566&foto=1947"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20200423_blokkendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Increasing winds predicted. I arrived just after the showers. Wind had just left. Surfers where using 4.2 and 4.7 sails. Wind probably came back again, started with the FSW 84 and Banzai 4.7
Further from the beach the wind was clearly stronger and the 4.7 a bit large. The 4.7 was really too big. Time for the 4.2. The 4.2 work a lot better. The 4.2 became really too big. More survival than surfing, so time to stop. It wasn't cold, but it was stronger wind than I expected. The sometimes very hard gusts made it exhausting, but the jumping and waveriding made it a lot of fun.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=565&foto=1934"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2020-05-22_blokkendam.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Forecast was wind increasing to 28 to 32 knots NNO. Not really the best wind direction. In the morning rain, dry in the afternoon, so arrived 15:00 at Brouwersdam.
Started with the JP FreestyleWave 84 with Goya Banzai 4.7 and 21/10cm fins, first time with my new Goya Banzai sails. Big high swell and in the clean free wind, sail was too big. First tried the AHD 75, but eventually rigged the 3.7. The 3.7 was too big, too. Only between the gusts was it really nice.
Pack up and head home. Everything full of sand, but it was fun, but heavy. Goya's are approved.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After 6 weeks adviced isolation and only easterly wind finally once again west wind. Because of social distancing: briefly surf and go home.
Used the iSonic 117 with S-Type 7.3 and SL-X43cm. Wind wasn't super strong, but I could easily plane.
It's nice to have a little time back on the water, often nice and sunny.
I think a lot of surfers should try better at social distancing.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[After yesterday, I really needed to recover. So we woke up late and took it easy in the morning, aiming to go surfing in the afternoon and then until about 3 hour clock before it would really be high tide.
Started with the Fanatic Grip 102 with Goya Banzai 5.7, did two very nice wave rides. Wind dropped a bit, switched to freewave: Goya One 3 - 105 with Goya Banzai 5.7, could not find any waves anymore. 
Sailed until the 5.7 was too small and the sun also simultaneously disappeared behind the clouds.]]></description>

Last day of the Clinic. Today a lot of wind predicted.
Started with the Goya Custom 3 Pro 86 and S1 4.8. Later when the wind dropped, took the Goya One 3 - 95 with the Flight Sails 5.2.
Practicing wave riding all the time: going out through the surf, getting upwind and trying to catch a wave on the inside.
Lesson 6: Look at the beach (or Colin) during the top turn.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=560&foto=1978"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2020_03_13_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Fanatic Viper 85 with Goya Banzai Pro 5.0. After lunch RRD FreestyleWave 96 with Flight Zorro 5.6. The

Used the Flikka 103 with Blade 5.3 and the Flikka 92 with Blade 4.7. Tried the set of Colin Dixon: Goya Quad 4 Custom and Banzai Pro 5.0.
Lesson 2: F1 start helps a lot: a few steps run in shallow water and jump directly onto the board.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=556&foto=1970"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20200308_colin.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[First surf day in El Medano this year. Started with Quatro Power Pro 94 and Severne Blade 4.7. the Quatro was to freestyle wave for the conditions, so switched it for the Flikka Thruster 92. Liked the Flikka a lot.
Not the easiest day to start with, the break was sometimes difficult to get through. It's great to sail again in warm conditions in a thin wetsuit.
Lesson 1: Go out when conditions are at its best.]]></description>

Then took the Makani 26cm under the JP 102: that works very well.
Wind wasn't super, temperature wasn't cold, but certainly last hour was wonderfully sailing.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=554&foto=1932"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20200215_kabbelaarsbank.jpg" border="0"></a>

Later, the wind died off and sail was too small. Then took the iSonic 101, wind came back, then it was lovely sailing, but also died off again, time to stop.
Was lovely temperature, unfortunately no sun, wind was worse than I had hoped, but still good sailing.]]></description>

Started with JP FSW 102 with Ice 5.3 and Makani 26cm, but that was soon too big. Then sailed with the JP FSW 84 with Ice 4.7 and Freewave 22.5cm/Makani 8cm sailed. Sailed until it was dark. It wasn't cold, wind was strong, sun was nice.]]></description>

Wind was too south again, but was not extremely gusty. It was good sailing. Sailed a few rakes with Hans Kreisel. Good to have sailed again.

      <description><![CDATA[Finally a good surfing day. Wind at the Blokkendam was a bit disappointing. Sailed with JP SingleThruster 99 with Ice 5.3 and 21/13,5cm fins
Wind was just too strong for the 5.3 at the beginning, at the end floating to the beach.
Was a very good day, not cold at all. Sailed a lot without cap and gloves.
Sometimes a short light shower. But certainly first hour of lovely sunshine.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=550&foto=1929"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/FB_IMG_15772194265130294.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[20 to 40 knots wind predicted, after a front with showers the wind would become slightly less but more stable. To be sure started with the large board:
JP SingleThruster 99 with Ice 4.7 and Select 21cm/K4 12cm fins. In the beginning a hard catapult. In the beginning, sailed with maximum trim, ended with less than minimum trim.
First real winter session of the season. With a sleek blue sky it wasn't cold, wind good. Nice few hours of sailing.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The whole week SW predicted, but as lately always: Wind ended up being South. Started with FSW 102 with Ice 5.3 and Makani 26cm.
Behind the dam no wind, on open water too much wind. Time for something smaller: FSW 84 with Ice 4.2 and K4 Rockets 18/12cm. In the beginning the 4.2 was small, but slowly the wind increased until the 4.2 was too large.
Stamina is not back yet, and in these circumstances it is heavy sailing.
Nice to have a lot of wind again, hopefully soon again a good ZW instead of Z.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[All day 25 to 35 knots wind predicted. Sailed the JP FSW 84 with Ice 4.2 and K4 Rocket 18/12. Near shore little wind, further out more wind, but certainly not full powered. Sailed the 4.2 at minimum trim. Some nice jumps. Couple of times nice waveriding, but needed gusts for both.
Sometimes wind briefly completely died, then I was happy when I could even waterstart. Wrong choice of sail, 4.7 was definitely better, think 5.3 might have worked as well.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Today the wind would turn to SW and increase considerably. In the morning the wind was still south and not strong. Started with the iSonic 101 with E-Type 6.6 and SL-X 36cm. In The beginning little wind, but increased so much that the E-Type was too large. Also used the Busca 34cm. In the harder wind sailed with the FreeWave 102 with Duke 5.9 and FreeWave 29cm untill that was also really too big. Too tired to get rig a smaller sail: stopped.
Unfortunately this day only came at the end of the week, but that didn't make it any less fun.
SW, Sun and nice wind, delicious.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Wind again south, seems not to want to turn southwest.
On the shore it seemed almost no wind, started with iSonic 117 with S-Type SL 8.3 and SL-P 46cm. That was in the gusts too big in the windholes too small. Tried the 44cm SL-P: slightly better. Wind increased, iSonic 101 with E-Type 6.6 and SL-X 36cm. That was good in the hardest gusts. Then the: iSonic 117 with S-Type SL 7.3 and SL-P 42cm, that was the best today, but still a lot of standing still.
These kind of days are rare in Zeeland. Even with this wind direction it is usually a whole lot better.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=545&foto=1927"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20190926_etype66.jpg" border="0"></a>

Great sailing. Wind pretty good, sailed until the wind was gone. Lovely sunshine.

Nice day to try my new S-Type SL 8.3
Used the iSonic 127 with S-Type SL 8.3 and Boss 44cm. Jeroen was there too.
Chop was low, yet quite tricky. Wind varied a lot, shifting and gusty, and lots of windholes. Sailed a lot of rakes together with Jeroen.
It was delicious, sun, warm and wind, okay shifty gusty winds.
First time S-Type SL was nice.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=541&foto=1920"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20190921_isonic127_stype83.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Away with friends for the weekend, but storm in the Netherlands. Then you want to go surfing anyway. So to nearest spot: the Kraaijenbergse Plassen.
Used the iSonic 101 with Crossride 6.6 and SL-X 36cm.
Wind was, as expected on an inland lake: on/off. So often floating, but also often planing.
Difficult conditions, but still nice session.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[17 A 20 knots predicted, took the afternoon off.
Went to the Kabbelaarsbank. Used the iSonic 101 with Crossride 6.6 with SL-X 36cm and Busca 34cm fins. Wind was extremely gusty and turned a lot. In the stronger wind, the 6.6 was just not too big, and could almost always plane. That Busca is great. It was crowded on the water, so had to pay close attention. Lovely afternoon, wonderfully warm, tricky wind.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Good wind predicted: 20 to 25 knots, so of to Zeeland.
Used the Ice 5.3 al day. Sailed a lot on the JP Single Thruster 99 Pro, tested with different fins. Also used the FreestyleWave 102 to compare. Sail was often a bit big. Weather was delicious, nice and warm and the sun showed itself. Today, the SingleThruster 99 was more fun than the FreestyleWave 102.
Was nice to sail together with Martijn and Marvin.]]></description>

Antoine Albeau and Matteo Iachino were 2nd and 3th in the ranking, and could both take the first place if they were to win. So both went for it. 
That became a very exciting race! And the drone pilot has made super spectacular images of it. Best EVER!!<img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/0-Y0qzNK_Ww/1.jpg" border="0">]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Had missed a beautiful sunday afternoon, so took a couple of hours of from work to go today.
My 2nd Warp F2010 8.0: Training sail used for the first time.
Tested with the iSonic 117 with different fins: Z-Fins 42cm, 44cm and Sonntag SL-X 43cm. Wind was minimal, but with a few pumps I could planing. Not a lot of pressure in the sail, but planing. Clear blue sky, delicious. Little getting used to the curve of the Severne boom.
Delicious sailing, 8.0 quite the time not full-power, looking back the 9.0 would have been better.
The sun made it a very lovely day.]]></description>

Sailed all day with the Voodoo 3.7, started with the JP FSW 84, soon switched to the AHD Pro Wave 253, then the JP Single Thruster 75. Switched a lot between the AHD and the ST 75, see which board is better in these circumstances. What a day, real summer storm, not cold, and gusts over 45 knots.

      <description><![CDATA[Ascension day 2019, Sun and wind. Started with the Duke 5.9 on the FSW 102 and MFC 29cm. Soon switched to the Single Thruster 99 to test it. Opted for the MFC 22cm with 12cm K4 Ezzy thrusters. Waveriding is very nice. When the wind decreased took the FSW 102 again, sailed until I could hardly plane anymore.
Top day, sun came early, so delicious weather. Pretty fun waves.
Could do some good testing of The Single Thruster 99, but need more time to test, the FSW 102 is a really good board.]]></description>

Used a Power XT 2.0 for the first time: impressed. Wind was extremely gusty and turned a lot. Not a very nice session. Worked on the trim of the 9.0 a bit.

Elimination 3: Preliminary round skipped: too cold. Rigged iSonic 117 with Warp 8.0 and SL-X 43cm. C-Final attempt 1: Wind dropped to nothing at the start, after 45 minutes slogging wind came back. C-Final attempt 2: came a big rain shower, wind increased a lot, and I didn't feel like it, and I wasn't the only one. Elimination 4: Started, but quickly blown off.

      <description><![CDATA[RegioCup half April cancelled due to cold weather. All weekend NE Wind predicted, awhich is always cold. But with only 6 to 8 degrees maximum predicted: too cold.
The organization will not have liked it, last year the wind did not come true all yeare, now the first race of 2019 must be canceledd, but it is a sensible decision. I'm might go for freesailing at the end of the afternoon.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Took a trip via Battenoord, to see the Flamingoos with his own eyes.
Wind was bit too West, so at the roundabout the wind was less than on the water. Started with JP 102 and Ice 5.3 with MFC 29cm, more volume for safety.
Wind was strong for the Ice 5.3, switched to the JP 84. Later riggerd the Ice 4.7, but that was a bit too late, wind started to drop.
Sailed a lot together with Jurjen.
It was lovely weather, nice sunshine.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=521&foto=1849"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20190317_grevelingendam_robert.jpg" border="0"></a>

      <description><![CDATA[Prediction was 30+ knots, that's already a lot, but it ended up being 40 knots.
While rigging, a gust blow my 3.7 right out of my hands.
Sailed all of the afternoon with the JP Single Thruster Pro 75 and Voodoo 3.7. Tried Different fin combinations.
Wind was too strong for real good surfing. Anything above the 40 knots is more survival than surfing. Between 30 and 40 knots is pretty good to sail.]]></description>

I could have an afternoon off from work. Started with the JP FSW 102 with Ice 5.3 and MFC FreeWave 29cm. 5.3 a bit big, switch to the FSW 84. Later rigged the Ice 4.7.
That was great, much more wind than expected.

Used JP Single Thruster Pro 3.7 75 with Voodoo, MFC K2 22 cm + K4 Shark 7 cm. In the hardest gusts, sail was just too big. But overall perfect.
Sailed untill I was getting tired. Last hour I was almost alone on the water.

Nice to be back on the board. Not ready for competition yet, but certainly with this kind of weather really enjoyable.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=507&foto=1821"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20180911_jp_fsw102_ice53.jpg" border="0"></a>

I don&#039;t do it often, but since the wind would go and the next time does not seem to go blow once early in Zealand. I was first on the water, first half hour only, then a half hour with 2 man on the water. When I stopped, most the water beware. Nice couple of hours with the FSW 84 with 5.3 Ice hazards.]]></description>

Asked about Zeeland, wind especially in the morning, on arrival no wind. Started with 6.6, which was quick to great. 4.7 on the FSW 84 get caught, first with thrusters, later single fin. To the wind decreased, the 6.6 again getting caught. The getrimmed and very good 6.6 practiced a lot on jibes views, that quickly went very well. Fun and fun day with my buddies. I enjoyed, was cozy, and also much in the afternoon sun.]]></description>

Wind was a lot less than predicted, ideal for the 9.0 LW to trimming. First time with my new Severne Enigma boom. Board was the iSonic 127 with Boss 49 cm. Good trim, wind went from a minimum to a maximum of 9.0 for the LW. The iSonic seems leak under the foot band. Informative/useful day.]]></description>

The 5.3 was quite the afternoon on the large side. I is becoming more joyful of my FSW 84 Pro which Thrusters give me even more tuning possibilities and that is where the range is even greater.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=485&foto=1769"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2017-06-12_blokkendam_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

After a few weeks of warm weather, all of a sudden a storm, which of course you should not miss. The JP Single Thruster 75 once properly tested in a storm. Sail was easy: smallest: Voodoo 3.7. tried 2 different vin setups: 12/18 and 12/16, K4 clearly last gave more control, but for my feeling can make it even better. After almost 2 hours I was really torn down, was still what fatigue of the weekend.]]></description>

The plan was to take a long-distance to sail to determine who in which fleet arrived. Lack of wind did not. Too little wind also for official matches, so fun-races. I was in the B-fleet. 4 heats hazards. 2 x 4th, 1 x false start and last race 1st. Very happy with this result, I could very well come in the B fleet, about the level that I have always had.]]></description>

Today 2nd time slalom training by 2017. 30 participants, very busy. Little to no wind. But good to get some light training again and stuff to test. Started with the iSonic 127 9.0 with Daytona and Boss 49 cm. When the wind was almost gone with the JP Super 90 Lightwind on the water, to the wind really was gone. The weather was great, good, nice and warm.]]></description>

There was ONO predicted, which can on the Grevelingendam pretty good. Ideal opportunity to agree to be friends with the Super Lightwind 90. The S-Type 9.5. First tried, then the Select S11 Deboichet 63 cm 61 cm. Wind rose slowly to the 9.5 really was too large. Stopped to forces to spare for the weekend. Very useful training.]]></description>

There was warm weather: 20 degrees and East wind. A lot of acquaintances. Started the Syncro 5.9 103 with Duke. Then for the first time since my accident back full count with the Warp 7.0 dangers. That went very well. Top day, big smile. I can turn full count with the Warp 7.0. It was nice and warm, the Sun was delicious.]]></description>

Starboard: The Ecoboard Project was started with one objective in mind: to be as energy efficient as possible. This starts by using raw materials that have a lower carbon footprint than those used today but with equal or improved mechanical properties.

WNW predicted, perfect for the Grevelingendam. By work I couldn&#039;t asked his, so an evening session. For the first time since long again my favorite slalom set of hazards: iSonic 7.0 101 and Warp. Few different fins tried. Also the Trans-Am 6.6. It was cold, winter suit away, cap and even gloves were needed. There was whose on the grevelingendam, not fine. Luckily no rain, or hail, and lots of Sun.]]></description>

Still tired from yesterday, so bit quiet freeriding. Started the Angulo Magnum 135 and Ezzy Cheetah 7.5. 85 cm wide board so easy in plane. Wind rose so board exchanged for a Fanatic Blast 130. Piece more lively and more playful. Wind rose even more, so smaller sail with 105 Goya: Goya One Banzai 6.3. The One had a 28 cm 105 vin who actually was too small for a miimaal gepowerede 4 lats 6.3. So other board with larger fin get caught: Angula CV1 100: top board. Top afternoon, lovely weather, wind took good, not yet enough to with real wave stuff lol.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=474&foto=1744"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/windsurfen_elmedano_20170413_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Last day of El Medano, a little more wind than yesterday: For cambers chosen: S-Type SL 6.6 on the Goya Bolt 105. That was full-on, in the beginning really borderline in terms of sailing large and then big waves. Perfect hard weather training. Walked around all day with a smile, what am I glad that I turn on this level. El Medano was fun, 5 of the 8 days. Lovely weather, 20 to 25 degrees, most days with shorty dangers.]]></description>

Unexpectedly however, wind, not much but still had to can. First the NCX 7.0, which was clearly too small. After that I could happily the Falcon 136 with Warp 8.4 F2017 suits, it was minimal, but could with good pumps much planing. Then to the side gone and the AHD AFS-1, a foil board getting caught. First with an Ezzy 6.1, but it was too small. Then again with the NCX 7.0. Now getting enough pressure. Foilen is damn hard, and very vemoeiend.]]></description>

First day wind in El Medano, from the wrong direction yet though. Taken the time to get used to the spot, so a free race taken set: Goya Bolt 115 with Severne NCX 7.0. Light and easy sailing set. Wind was quite gusty West wind, the mountain is in the way. Finally reasonable mn turn found on the water. Short-arm was too hot.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=472&foto=1739"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/windsurfen_elmedano_20170410_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Wind actually turned out too hard to snuggle up with the 4.7. 75 the SingleThruster packed with JP 20 cm/K4 12 cm. today there Could not really be friends.

There was light weather forecast, the wind was harder, with the Warp 8.0 was the full-power. Kinda similar to the last time, but then just a little less hard causing the 8.0 never was too large.

Little time, but wanted to really just yet. The SSE at 5 mph, never ideal. Bigger busted than most: Warp 8.0. Started with the Boss 44 cm, later the Sonntag 42 cm there under.

After weeks just too cold, finally. All alone on the Grevelingendam. Wind was W a WZW, so in the Bay no wind and in the shallow outside the dams there too little. The Syncro 103 with 5.3 and Select Style 30 cm Ice hazards. That was on the large side, but with max trim not too big. It was nice to get back on the water. No pain in my back. I have feeling like.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=465&foto=1729"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/grevelingendam_20170302a.jpg" border="0"></a>

Prediction: this morning was still wind, to hour or 1, then quickly decreasing. So I was early in Zeeland. Only a single surfer at Kabbelaarsbank. Few hours tested many different fin configurations under JP FSW 84 Pro 4.7 with the Ice. I start to feel reasonably at which fins good and which work less. Which fins for which and when work well. Very happy with the extra options under the JP FSW 84 Pro. It was delicious sunny.]]></description>

Finally the converted 84 Freestyle Wave Pro with Thrusters test. Few hours with the Ice block dam on the dangers arising from the 84 5.3 FSW. Wind direction to southern for the lowdown. Number of different setups tried. Very fun and educational. It was less hot than yesterday, but have certainly not had cold. Wind was good, unfortunately he fell away quickly.]]></description>

Few hours at Natural High dangers, very quiet, but just light winds. With the Ice 5.3 on the Syncro 103 dangers. Too many floated around, difficulty with altitude. The weather was good, had better deal with the 6.6. But nice to get on the water.]]></description>

On the Grevelingendam turned out to be the the WSW at 5 mph, always tricky. So opted for a slightly larger set. isonic 101 with the Trans-Am 6.6, only bought to see if a better fit than the more free race 6.6 me pure freeride Natural. Unfortunately with not paying attention with rig up: in the middle of the Grevelingen: pop, sailing slack. First reaction: cleaner string broken, torn sail? No, top put out through the top of the mast trunk! Oops. Should bother surfing back to the side, there turned out to be there. Again rigging and go. Not the best day, cold, many rain, first hour was the best.]]></description>

Finally a good SW predicted. Because of conversion of my JP FSW 84 Pro I had to borrow a board: M. Fanatic Freewave 86, thereupon the Ice 4.7. Still on M. JP Freestyle Wave sail, 84 Pro 2013 fun, I now look forward to my own converted FSW with extra thrusters. Wind rose significantly and even here at my JP SingleThruster Pro 75. Not the best day of the year, wind fell out.]]></description>

Late afternoon just enough wind to sail. Started with the iSonic 117 and my just purchased Warp 8.0, but there turned out to be the wind actually too minimal for. Nice moment to my JP Super 90 Lightwind give it a go try: S-Type 9.5. What is that thing big and especially wide in the back, who has a need, even the 70 cm long fin works really still under. It was a beautiful afternoon to light again to test stuff.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=459&foto=1698"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/busca70.jpg" border="0"></a>

Surfing with Juanfer day 2, this time at sea. W/SW predicts. I Syncro 103 with Ice, Juanfer 5.3 4.7 the FSW 84 with Ice. Weird weather, wind turned NW, awkwardly at the block dam. The rain had not needed today, but the wind was good.]]></description>

Surfing with Juanfer day 1. I started with the iSonic 127 and Daytona 7.8 and later the Mistral Syncro 5.9 103 with Duke. 7.3 the iSonic Juanfer 117 with Spirit. Even when I was full-power with the sailing was Juanfer 5.9 (10 kg lighter) still on the 117 with the 7.3: &quot;I&#039;m fine, it is narrower then the 9.5 I&#039;m used to.&quot; Was a very fun day, was very cozy with Juanfer. Class, good weather.]]></description>

End of the afternoon wind predicted, so a few hour packed with the meat. 6.6 on the iSonic 101 natural hazards, for the first time agree with carbon fins. Was a nice evening, wind was gusty, but was good. Bad news: Benno and Fabienne I could not keep with the Natural.

We had agreed to go surfing and surf with friends after a BBQ. It was very busy on the Kabbelaarsbank. Started with the iSonic 101 with Natural 6.6 and S10 37 cm, which was often far too great. But wind was very gusty, and behind the port it was worse. Then the Syncro with Ice 5.3 getting caught. Yet but wise the extra volume 5.3, seemed like a good idea with this gusty wind. Was delicious, easy. It was not the best surfing day of the year, before that it was the wind way too gusty.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=454&foto=1673"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20160807_robert2.jpg" border="0"></a>

Another day with wind predicted, another afternoon of smoking. Wind similar, so again for the same set of chosen: JP Freestyle Wave 84 with 5.3 Ice but now with the Select Wave Warrior 24 cm. Wind was on the water less, giving you more west parallel to the side and so also compared to the waves. Few very beautiful waves know. 3 a 4 hits, even a aerial-of-the-lip done. Was pretty quickly tired, not crazy to yesterday. Was a nice afternoon, plenty of sunshine, fairly constant breeze, there were nice wavy.]]></description>

Grey, but dry afternoon browsing the Brouwersdam. 1 set used: JP Freestyle Wave 84 with 5.3 Ice and Makani Kaku 26cmIn first it was low tide, waves, barely at the end was the flood and the waves were also gone. First time with the Kaku 26 cm: after sanding the print a top fin. Sometimes I had better with the 4.7. The 5.3 was often too big for the good one.]]></description>

Wind forecast took towards the weekend, but there was still 12 a 16 knots predicted. Delicious the time taken to Daytona 9.0 on the Epic 520 cm mast to trim and to try different fins. 47 cm Boss is on the small side, the C3 D2 52 cm and Select 50 cm seem very good, very different and both are not too large. Weather was great, nice and warm and fine breeze to have a good trim for the 9.0.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=445&foto=1668"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20160709_daytona90.jpg" border="0"></a>

There was LESS THAN 5 MPH wind predicted, only was the forecast every day changing between nothing and wind force 6. Good afternoon of cruising on the Syncro 103 with Natural 6.6 and Select SRX 38 cm. Be some with the Ice 5.3 tried when it blew as hard, but the wind was less quickly. Nice afternoon, great dangers.]]></description>

Freek wanted a 9.5 testing, so my R-Type on loan. 380 the CAT itself with Simmer Race rigged and 9.0 together with Peter Ossehoek done a round around. Wind rose rapidly and full-power, half wind did not more. Be full-speed downwind back to the side. Then ff with the GPS on the CAT dangers. Beautiful day, what a happiness that the wind so long remained.]]></description>

The gusts were strong, very, very strong. Unfortunately, the wind was also at square angle to the dam, so you had to bear off wind from the dam for high speeds. In the beginning a few very fast runs, up to 67.8 km/h. Then made an attempt to sail a good fast Nautical Mile.
At home I looked up my current PR, I was 67.2 km/h so I was over that: New PR. The 2 sec was: 69.32 km/h, unfortunately just under 70.

I think the iSonic 127 in terms of light again no match is with the 60 cm GT85 and a good vin. Next time try a longer fin.]]></description>

There was 30 knots decreasing wind and showers predicted. FSW 84 with 4.7 and RON 20 cm Ice hazards. On steps and sail away, piece of cast off more wind (always on Kabbelaarsbank with ZW) On the first jump out quite a about rotated donkey kick: Crash! Wind decreased slightly, other vin: Select X 1 26, 5 cm, slightly less trim. In the beginning, well, the wind comes back again. By dangers until I was quite tired, time to quit. Good end of the year.]]></description>

Today wind and warm enough, still fast sailing. On the brouwersdam was very quiet, only at the Kite spot there were people on the water, top spot, so there dangers. The whole afternoon with JP FSW 84 4.7 and Ice hazards. The 4.7 was great but never overpowered. After 2.5 hours full count there against to go I was empty and I stopped. Super nice dangers. Delicious jumped, sometimes very high. Nice wave riding. If this spot is available for surfers, I am sure more commonly found.]]></description>

What a disappointment, there was already afraid of: no wind: Really nothing. The wind was really silent, so CAT 380 with the Simmer LE Race 9.0 rigged in minimal trim. It was so calm that I could not even get the starting line. No pressure. Fortunately it was with no wind also start for tricky and there was a massive false start. At the 2nd start attempt I was sitting pretty. But yes, try yet again to get away without wind. After fifteen minutes or so I was so fed up. Sailing on the back, with legs sailing in balance, out of the water, paddling with the sword. That went a lot faster. The SUPs making those pictures went faster: I stop there with it, am quiet paddling back to the side.]]></description>

Today a little more wind than predicted yesterday, and we got even more. All races with Warp 7.0 on the iSonic 101 hazards. Usually went very well, only the first buoy was exactly is very high swell, which just style was around the buoy. I&#039;m one myself but 1 x cases, but by planing is me there not/hardly successful. There were always far less experienced surfers, but also some toppers. Rest of the course was a lot easier and here and there even very flat. The last 2 I have the preliminary round eliminations not dangers, only the losers final, I was too tired to all races to sail. It was a nice day, relatively constant wind, full count Sun, beautiful matches. Deadly tiring.]]></description>

Beautiful weather, East wind predicted. It was pressure, many NK participants present. Started with Warp 7.8, but who was actually too small. So put on a GT85. It was not until the first break time to rig the 8.6.2nd elimination: Finally the necessary pressure, though it was still minimal. Maybe the 9.5. Could planing, but came ever speed too short. Not a bad day, little gusty wind and bad material choice. Maybe my GT85 yet not suitable for the Goldfleet, come speed too short, yet but even looking for something nieuwers?]]></description>

2nd day NK lauwersmeer, first day had no wind. It was Course Race, so I was allowed again with the technos. I expected little wind, so the Simmer Race LE 9.0 getting caught. Start was 3 kilometres away. Race with the speedboat to the start line, just not won 5 Races hazards: severe conditions. Technos planeerde constant, so not to keep downwind and upwind beautiful fight. Upwind often pushing against the mast hand, overpowered!

End of the afternoon and evening wind. Beautiful evening to check out the Quad to test properly. When the flood came, the shore-break, very long wall of 1 meter high that broke on the beach. Not fine, 1 x through it and then remain on the water as long as possible. Started with the JP FSW 5.3 84 and Ice sailing on the large side, had been small. Then the Quad 81 to compare. Now with a lot of wind and swell, no steep waves. Altitude does ie well, though it feels weird. Half wind didn&#039;t feel relaxed. Golf afrijdend very great: just a skateboard. Board is not loose on, is also not easy. The JP FSW caught 84 to compare: finer. Fun night, heavy almost impossible shore-break. Quad is sold. Another seal.]]></description>

There was wind and clouds predicted, you stand on, blue skies. All the way doubted between inland waterway, sea or play or slalom training. First briefly on sea, but there were few waves more and too little wind for wave stuff. So slalom training. Started with 111 and Warp iSonic 7.0. That was S-Type 6.3 104 with Warp and even my Warp 5.7 for the first used. Hard wind! Glorious sunshine all day long.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=370&foto=1692"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/warp_63_70.jpg" border="0"></a>

In the run-up to the weekend there seemed to be no wind to come, last day for Saturday still predicts 10 knots. Eventually we got 8 to 22 knots of wind. With 11 Race boards/RS: X-and in a separate heat it was very great, exciting races, the rotating gusty wind made it difficult. All day with the CAT 380 and 9.5 R-Type hazards. 5 races, eventually become the 6th of 11. It could well maintain, always after 2 races a break was much needed. Condition is not yet on arrow.]]></description>

There was suddenly a prediction of ZW6 that even possibility of 8 on the coast gave. Number of hours free. The whole afternoon with my Power Wave 4.2 253 and Ice hazards. In the beginning certainly too big, later took the wind gradually, until I could only just planing with 4.2. Stopped, tired but satisfied. It was delicious, nice and warm even in the beginning. Good to agree with real good wind to sail.]]></description>

After a much too long winter finally surf weather. There was a beautiful South wind predicted and 20 degrees. Dangers with the 9.5 GT85 with R-Type, and with the iSonic and Duke 6.7. 9.5 6.7 in the beginning was way too big, kind of like on the small side. My condition is still bad. All in all, great to see on the water, condition, and is not what it used to be, but that again though.]]></description>

Especially in the morning was heavy storm predicts, later less wind and Sun. So sleeping late, and take direction zeeland. Traveling light: 1 Board and 3 sails. 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.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=365&foto=1451"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2012_11_25_Robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Formula: Race 2: a little more wind, could reasonably well the button: 2deFormula: Race 3: good wind, Upwind I could almost follow Andrea: 2nd. Slalom: Heat 1: Good race, good fight with Alexander Verhage. Slalom: Heat 2: too little wind at the start, did not come in plane: 9deSlalom: Heat 3:2 x cheat!

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.

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.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[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. Minimal wind was in my favor, which brought me tight for first with Huig-Jan and everything depended on he last race.
Wind had increased considerably, advantage for Huig-Jan. Very exciting race, towards the finish Huig-Jan came from the other direction, he won with 10 meters lead!! Beautiful Race! 2nd.
It was a nice weekend, I'm glad I'm sailing raceboard and not Formula. Finished 2nd this weekend, 1st overall.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=356&foto=1447"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2012_09_23_NK_Almere_huig-jan.jpg" border="0"></a>

There was little wind predicts. So it was Formula, so for my Race board. Beautiful competitions had with Uvula-Jan branch. The RS: X is better in a little more wind, the race board like the RS: X cannot planing. Weather was really getting on the brink. So that makes the games exciting though. It was getting penny Exchange who won. The Technos came there not involved this time. The Formula boys had a bad day, not a valid heat dangers.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=355&foto=1445"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2012_09_22_NK_Almere_robert1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Once cozy with Rob and Peter surfed. Wind was hard predicts, Rob didn&#039;t want to sea, so Kabbelaarsbank. The water seemed pretty flat, so started slalom: 104 with RAM 5.7 S-Type hazards. Speeds above 60 km/h, so not bad. Trim was getting better. After some more walk playing with a wave set: JP FSW 4.7 By 84 with dangers to the wind stopped. It was a fun day, laughed a lot and learned a lot.]]></description>

For the first time since a long time been on a caster board and once again played in the waves. Enjoy a couple of hours with my JP FSW 84 and 5.3 in the waves of Ice the Brouwersdam played. Weather was mostly very good, good wind, sunshine and warm. Unfortunately a few heavy but short showers, just before the mood very hard wind and then a 5-10 minute or nothing at all. Enjoyed it!]]></description>

After weeks of training and competitions on slalom Race boards now finally just again delicious. 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.]]></description>

More wind, more constant and flatter water. Was tasty. Everyone was waiting for the start and I still had to rig up. All heats hazards 101 iSonic with Warp 7.0 there on. Perfect! Course was short, water extremely flat, speeds high, under the minute was possible. 13th, 10th and 10th in the qualifying rounds. It was another cool weekend, fun to be with the Pro fleet sail. Atmosphere in the Group was a lot of fun. And the party Saturday night? Legendary again.]]></description>

So, even if a Pro late arriving, enrolling and rigging. There was a very short course so we were getting ready in a Flash. Heat 1: DNF, Heat 2: Massive false and yet a valid good race. After the honouring of Dorian came the message that we had to sail heat 2 again. Heat 2 retry: 11th. Heat 3: almost everyone went swimming at buoy 1. As Pros we had to be ashamed. That was it for day 1. Eat and quickly back to the party.]]></description>

The Organization was very good: everything on time, nice opening, relaxed end party. Weather was very very good, lots of Sun, and races on all the days. I have shared a cottage with the Peruvian family Bazo. Very nice, I enjoyed myself. My matches went pretty good, learned a lot: 53th out of 68.

Race 2: Bad start, wind turned, arrived late at the top buoy, finished, but still: DNF. Race 3: Good start, wind turned, course was now wrong: 55th

Today, little wind predicts, hopefully it's over predicts. Race 1: throughout the race, game held with DEN-1110, eventually just by hemgewonnen: 47th Race 2: nice contest with Saskia, already at the start so close together that I just on the tip of her One-Design could sit down. After the last top mark downwind it went bad, Board didn't want planing up to 3 x and I fell in the water, many places lost: 54th. Race 3: a lot of wind, race went very well, speed was great, almost everywhere geplaneerd: 43steIk am very happy with the decision of the race officials to give us 3 race back-to-back.]]></description>

Last weekend for the World Cup, so last chance to get some to train. Tricky breeze, fell getting away, turned a lot. But good to train, many different conditions. Fortunately, the sun shone all the fun and excitement. The entire afternoon with the Cat and 9.5 R-Type hazards. Cat has new grip and that is really a whole lot better. Lots of pumps, tack etc. Good to see how fast the Cat slide if there is no/hardly any wind.]]></description>

Via facebook had Saskia asked who wanted to come train at Medemblik. Good plan, perfect opportunity to explore the WORLD CUP location for the circus in 2 weeks really loose and 400 surfers around walking/boating. Only the CAT and 9.5 included: Traveling Light. It was helpful, the location here explores, orientation on the water. Dangers to my mast foot of the Cat was stuck. 2 days, 2 race boards in the garage for maintenance! :-(]]></description>

At last time and a little wind, perfect for a couple of hours of light training again. Please be the sword of my father&#039;s Malibu S in my Team due: stupid! It seems the same system, but sword sat directly wired to the sword, need to remove whole centreboard case to get out again. After some dangers without zwaardstrips/trained.]]></description>

Unexpected dangers today still, between the afternoon was so delicious that I&#039;m outside work before on my left. Today are not trained for the World Cup, more a good playing with my buddies, fun to be with my old Hague friends together to surf, what we know each other for long. Quite the evening with 5.3 dangers, first on the FSW84, but that was just too little , last hour on the S-Type 104, and that was brilliant. The S-Type is perfect for Herkingen, flat water and a fast board. Very very much done, gybes went super good and felt so good. Good night.]]></description>

Unfortunately it did not get dry, but the wind was good and strong. Sailed over an hour with the Ultra Cat with MX-Race 7.5. That was intense, sail was really too big, so half wind did not go that good, but the downwind was great.]]></description>

The World Cup is coming, so next time I&#039;m going to try to work out a lot on my race board. The goal is to train the next time often briefly. Today focused on getting to know my Fanatic Cat, and especially training tack. 2 hours on my Cat with 9.5 R-Type hazards, wind was gusty, almost no wind to 20 knots. Great dangers, I certainly feel that my board to know better. However, the board new grip.]]></description>

Weather wind predicts, lot more than for yesterday. Race officials had chosen Course for slalom Racing, I was gone with zn wind. Today luckily not the only one with a race board, Saskia and Ton had also enrolled. Heat 1 and 2 were with a lot of wind, the top techno surfers just faster, Saskia had the heavy and couldn&#039;t join. Heat 3 and 4 in light winds, Saskia in its element and not to keep track of. After we just by the water were a heavy storm mood, happy were all Formulas also just in time by the water. It was a fun NK, varying conditions. 1st this weekend, but that&#039;s not odd as I 1 day only water. What&#039;s next?

Day 1 of the 3rd round of the Nr: location: the Grevelingendam, home water for me. Very nice and warm, the morning sun and wind, some participants just in swimming trunks on the water. In the afternoon clouds and a few small Bango. Unfortunately I was today the only with a Race board (okay, so called 1st today, and also the last) with the Technos dangers, and those Kids are good, so must be good work to stay ahead of them/. 3 heats, finished first last heat 4th. The Formulas have by the light winds in the afternoon but 2 heats hazards. Beautiful day, but more than 5 hours on the water is very tiring.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=334&foto=1421"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/20120630_nk_grevelingendam1.jpg" border="0"></a>

3rd weekend in June with good wind predicts, Friday started with a storm at sea. My smallest tarp: 3.7 on my smallest boardje was often still too big, bouts were really very hard. After I had longer trapeze lines get caught and the tide began to subside it became easier to sail and I still have a lot of high jumps, some as high and without checking that it was best to let go of the set but just in the air and los naa r to fall down to not take the risk on a landing on your stuff.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=331&foto=1391"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2012_06_22_martijn1.jpg" border="0"></a>

Upon arrival poured it, and hardly any wind. With only 4 competitors in 2 different classes entered the contest. So participants and organization are together go testing. After the rain came the wind, and that came hard! ISonic 101 started with Warp 7.0 and Venom 36 cm, up to that no longer went, then: S-Type 104 with RAM F10 5.7 and Venom 30 cm, and even on mn JP FSW 84 pro. Had him loaned to a sponsored surfer, so when I ff if with his tarp dangers. It was instructive today.

There was especially wind for the morning predicts, so goal was to promptly at 10:00 with the first heats starting and then to sail as much as possible until the wind died down. My first regiocup in the goldfleet. The first 7 heats were super, with 7.0 full-power slalom. Some guys even with 6.2/6.3. I was often good at, 6th 7th place. Few very good starts. Unfortunately I broke in heat 6 my trapeze hook which makes me 1 place lost to Coen and heat 7 was missing. Then the wind began to take off. My 7.8 set was clearly not well getrimmed, I think vin too small. Board height, could not walk, was stuck fast. Finally satisfied with the day, it went pretty good: 8th.]]></description>

After a nice piece of boating I exchanged my S07 35 cm for my 33 cm. When removing my 35 cm I saw something white out of the base of the fin. Strangely, it seems almost masking-tape. Why is that between the base? Starts the famous SL7/RS7 problem always so? Does anyone know what this is?]]></description>

NK, and it&#039;s cold again, wind was doubtful, they N/NO prediction, but from experience I know that who just wants to stay at sea. Not very wind in the morning, my first rakjes on my Ultra Cat dangers because there were no heats hazards: get used to it, troublesome. Then 1 Elimination Slalom GT85 hazards with Warp 8.6. First preliminary round survives. The Semifinal missed because I was late, and the runnersup began also not good, I fell silent in the middle of the field at the start and so it became a catch up: 19th.]]></description>

My first NK, cold weather, but a good wind. Location: Lelystad Houtrib locks Beautiful spot, lots of open water and free wind. We have 2 eliminations dangers. Both times I came across not just through the first round, you had to top 5, both times 6th. First time poel-des-death, so reasonable chance, second time mainly due to a bad start. First Loosers Final a false start, so last. 2nd Loosers Final a really bad start, as the last road, but after a bold overtaking race anyway as 5th inside and that felt pretty good, but I know that I can better. I was still what rusty and some careful with my back, which it did very well by the way, no longer experience.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=321&foto=1368"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2012-04-15_NK_Lelystad_3580.jpg" border="0"></a>

A friend called me, here favorite wave board was cracked, it was leaking water from a crack close to the mast rail. Turns out, the paint and the fiber or the deck next to the mast rail are warn-off, revealing the core of the board. So water could seep in. If you own a RRD wave board, or any other wave board with wear from the baseplate, read this! Repair the board before water gets in.]]></description>

It was not very busy. I sailed with iSonic 111 and 7.8. Step up and flying, nice in the flat water of the bay. Soon I started to get cold, felt stiff, cold fingers, despite my mittens, pain in my back.
Not my day, and that does not happen often, cold, not really nice wind and trouble with my back, after the car ride home it was now really stuck, will be a few days of pain, and maybe a while not surfing. And that with my first Dutch Championship next weekend: SUCKS!]]></description>

Sailing felt nice light, boom good thin. 3 Fins hazards: Drake R13 60 cm, C3 D2 60 cm and Select Ultra 60 cm. Wind was light today, but it was nice and warm, perfect test day. Warp like it well.

      <description><![CDATA[Increasing wind predicted with changing direction, not the best for a competition.
A total of 10 heat sailed, I won the first 9, easy. The last heat I had a bad start and Ko and Andrea sailed very well, so I became 3rd. With 9 wins and 2 heats deduction: 1st today. It is becoming very clear that I no longer belong in the Silverfleet and will sail in the Goldfleet next year.]]></description>

After a few weeks wind still and warm weather, autumn is now really started, last days took the wind increasing and today would be the day with hardest wind. I had a lot of cloudiness and rain expected. It rained a lot at home when I went away, but along the way it quickly became dry and then had no rain. Around an hour or 2 a 3 pulled it even open all the way and it was soaking up the Sun, okay, be burned. The autumn is very very well started. Hopefully next weekend.]]></description>

Prediction was not great, to an hour or 2 wind, then quickly diminishing and around 12 pm turning from South to West. That is a tricky game. The organization dared it anyway and let the game continue. So early to zeeland, it rained there firmly. The race officials chose a Formula game, good choice. First 2 heats had to be gestops because the wind fell away. After the wind turned, job was changed and we could go try it again. Quite the afternoon continued Fanning, not much but enough and we still have 6 valid heats hazards.

Race training: the forecast was great, 25 to 30 knots. That would be a great training. I was a bit late, first sleep late. Everyone was already on the water, most were sitting around the 7.8 and 8.0. Hans stood with 7.3. After a short chat started adorning my Warp F2009 8.0. Had never rigged. You can make it a 460 or 490 in boating. Chosen for 490 because I expected to have my 460 still needed for my 7.0. Wind was very gusty. A number of practice competitions done, my first start went completely wrong: 11 seconds early. Afterwards it went though getting better.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=300&foto=1286"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/north_warp_f2009_80a.jpg" border="0"></a>

There was a lot of wind predicts, many surfers speedsurfing went, but I would rather my slalom set on open water in order for hard wind. Marco and Orion were there too. Perfect day, here I had hoped for, not cold and windy. Beautiful my RAM F10 6.3 can sail for the first time and be able to test the Warp 5.4 with the Venom 30 cm. I have my best material in good order for hard again, just need to still work trianen on gyben with this kind of wind in strong chop. Always tricky, but went today best bad.]]></description>

On arrival there was a brisk wind, wavered between 5.3 and 4.7. Nevertheless, chosen to start with 5.3, quickly rigged. After a rakje or 2 I sail the water on, feel and hear a hot dog, think first to my trapeze lines, but which are still a. I am also still, look at my trapeze hook. Broken!

I wouldn&#039;t have much time, so just wanted to in full sail, nice moment to have for an hour record. All the other times I had coincidentally an hour record.

Warm weather in the beginning but no wind, wind but also a lot of rain later. For different reasons wanted some to the Oister dam, since no bad swim is took me, wind direction was well predicted. Because it is not a first time blew on the side are chatting, Martijn and Jeroen were busy with Smartphones looking for a website that does wind predicted. There was wind predicted, but anywhere from an hour or 12 a 2. Eventually started hans 8.0 to rig. But that seemed Jeroen then again too much and hans again lambaste. Hans went 6.0 adorning what I then again little was made. Eventually, I even go rigging: Warp iSonic 7.0 with 101.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=290&foto=1224"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2011-07-16_Oesterdam01_Hans.jpg" border="0"></a>

The day for a regiocup is always WWT (Windsurfing Contest Trainning) so also today. Weather forecast was very good (especially if they are the real contest on the day of no wind) Level was very high. I felt really a beginner: Josh Dripped, Kati Spark, Kay van Berlo, Ingmar Daldorf (and his brothers), Dennis Kad, John Coins, Rene spark, Wolfgang Draschner, Coen Swijnenburg, Andrea Vp .... and to top it all off the current world no. 1 Steven van broeckhoven. For him his first Slalom competitions ... And so did ie pretty good, every start he started getting better ... I could not keep him.]]></description>

There was pretty much wind predicted, last days took the prediction only increases. And a weekend with NK/BK and celebrating 40 years surfing in Netherlands: bring it on. NK/BK was Formula, so no slalom so nothing for me. And the wind was so little that the planned recreationists weds time also. So the whole day smoking dangers. But what a doom:-broken baseplate, be happy in shallow-42 cm tear in my crash with GT85 by vin in the shallow.]]></description>

There was 18 to 25 knots wind predicted, but wind. Later in the day the wind turned in the right direction and came the prediction. First but a bakkie done at my parents who also were there. This was a perfect day train and practice for a day of slalom with my 8.4. Normally I always chose for my GT85. But I think in the future I also use my iSonic go.]]></description>

Weather was much better than 2 days back, when was and 14/15 degrees and bewolk and so very cold, now 20 degrees and the zaidi came there regularly. My goal for today was to take a good slalom training. There are enough buoys on Kabbelaarsbank I could use. After arriving fast wind measuring: 15-23 knots. Hard for the 7.3, maybe some little for the 6.3. Yet for the 7.3 chosen so that I could test my Venom 40 cm again.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=284&foto=1223"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/c3venom40_isonic111.jpg" border="0"></a>

I was expecting it would be very busy because it was a Sunday, and there have long been wind as predicted, so early to Zeeland. I was already there to 9:15. There was almost no one, there was only a well-known car. .. Frank was there, fat! Frank had to for 11:00 we are, so to 8:30 that was already on the water.

Just this week come back by 3.5 week holiday and so not surf: Equal a whole weekend, time for some hours to catch up. It was a better day than expected, there was very bad weather predicted, but it fell along with the rain and the Sun was sure later in the afternoon see regularly (after 15:00 was itself almost completely blue) Wind turned very, first Z/ZW , later W/BLK, then back to Z/ZW to end in W when I went home.]]></description>

Same forecast as for yesterday, so again O/NO and a lot of Sun, it remains special to than a match. Rise today was lower. The race officials now had a downwind slalom course explained: Always more fun to sail, after part is that if the wind turns the race longer silent is to Captivate all good again. Contest sometimes better sometimes less than yesterday. A few very nice starts, including 1 x false started and 1 heat missed. But not at all cases during the heats and also almost all gybes by geplaneerd. It was a great weekend with super weather and a very fun match, unfortunately I walk now limp.]]></description>

For everyone the first game of the season. Prediction: 18 a 22 knots O/NO and lots of Sun! It was pressure, when I 9:00 (early for my doing) on the Grevelingendam came out it was already very busy. There were 100 participants, including: many surfers from the Belgian and Dutch toppers including: Nadan Dripped, Dennis Littel, Jordy Spark, Dirk doppenberg, Kay van Berlo, Pascal van Someren, Patrick van Hoof, Wolfgang Draschner etc etc. .. That would be a tough game going to be, I will be really a miracle find if I was in the top 20 a 25 visit.]]></description>

Few hours smoking taken to an afternoon/evening. Once arrived there seemed to be hardly wind to stand so my 11.0 m2 rigged. First time seriously sail with a 11.0 m. In the beginning little wind, but wind quickly took to 18 a 20 knots and then it becomes survival especially if you have no experience with Formula, it was dead scary. Fortunately without damage to the side. After that class with my 7.3. Together with Marius long rack made to look who was fastest, the difference was very small: Was great fun. When the wind was still less once with 11.0 m tried: This time it was a lot better to do, wind was a whole lot less.]]></description>

Despite there being only 8 degrees was predicted was not at all cold, as the Sun came out it was really tasty, and certainly a lot better than last week. Wind was good, sometimes he took off a bit, but with some trimming I could always sail: thank you North for your Power XT!]]></description>

Thick February Storm (8-9 bf) the prediction was already a few days storm. Even 3 days long storm. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Well that storm came, last night a few times already awake by the hard wind around the House. As they wind force 8 a 9 I have predicted but 1 set what a bit useful. Smallest Wave board with smallest Wave sail: 3.7. So the cart once left at home and some stuff in the car with you, be as safe with so much wind. Wind again tomorrow, but fortunately something less: 7 a 8 bf. That is a lot easier, but still hard.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=273&foto=1202"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/ahd253_select24.jpg" border="0"></a>

3rd day of surfing in January, this is going to be a nice winter. Wind was declining and less than predicted on Saturday, but the Sun would continue today. So drove to Zeeland, first along the beach because many acquaintances had agreed. Wind was indeed less than on Saturday. Everyone stood on the side, a few surfers were chatting with 5.5 (way too small) to the Bob. When Arno are 6.8 to the rigging was also but decided to cozy with Arno to go boating on the sea. Class, but the Beach also has disadvantages.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=272&foto=1182"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/north_ram_f9_84a.jpg" border="0"></a>

25 a 35 knots wind was predicted. Seemed to me much, and that I had good. First drove along the beach to look how it was there and to have a number of acquaintances to shake a hand. Was there anyone to bobbing and Jurjen was a 7.3 to the rigging. When the water went he had to first Jurjen a whole lot he could float for planing. Along the side was just less wind. I didn&#039;t feel like in Slalom at sea, and am so gone through to Kabbelaarsbank.<br><br><a href="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/?day=271&foto=1189"><img src="https://windsurfing.rdeleeuw.nl/fotos/tumbs/2011_01_15_RAM_F9_73a.jpg" border="0"></a>

I was afraid that we would get a harsh winter, and thus could no longer be surfed, but the forecast for this weekend is really very beautiful, both days ZW wind predicts, both days warmer than 8 degrees and Sunday even a charm. I&#039;ve been looking forward to it.]]></description>

After a very cold month decemebr finally warm enough to surf. For the first time in 2 years, in January. 10 a 12 degrees predicts, home was all the snow just left. But the wind forecast was actually something too hard. 32 (a) 40 knots. Something too much of a good thing, but you would like to sail. I drove back with the idea that I would need my 3.7 does.]]></description>
