Wind forecast was good, but cold and rain predicted. On the day itself rain turned out to be not too bad, so went anyway. Went to Botenhelling, used the JP FSW 84 Pro with the Ice 5.3 and 23 cm fin. No too cold. I missed the warm dressing room of Kabbelaarsbank. [Read...]

3rd days windsurfing in a row, and that in November, rare. Surfed at de Grevelingendam. In the beginning lots of rain and hard gusts, after the rain the wind dropped a bit, and the Sun started to shine. Nice day, sailed with the 5.3 and 5.9 on the JP 84. Took it easy after 2 days full power slalom. Winter may begin, I need a few days rest. [Read...]

So rigged the Warp 7.0. Practiced gybes. PR on the NauticalMile: 51.67 km/h average. Good slalom pratice. Today my good winter suit and winter shoes, this time no cold feet. [Read...]

Finally some good southwest wind. Took a day of. Sailed the Isonic 111, Warp F2009 and C3 Venom 38 cm. First time with the Venom 38 cm under this set: better than the SL2, less nervous than the SL4. Jibing also went better. After 2 hours wind died out! It was nice to be back on the water. Jibing went pretty damn good, speed in the harder gusts was good. Nice! [Read...]

First day of November, blue skies, light breeze. Perfect to do some new light stuff to try. So time to my Warp F2011 8.6 to rig with my Platinum 215 and a few 60 cm fins test. There was little wind, could planing, but at times it was on my toes, later took the wind something. 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. About the fins I am not out yet, I need more testing. [Read...]

Nice wind and weather forecasts and I had a free day, super. After getting my RAM F9 at the sail maker by going to the Kabbelaarsbank. It looked good out there, a lot of planing surfers and clear blue sky. Not at all cold. Warp Warp 7.8 F2011Na just talk my rigged, beautiful day to my newly bought F2011s once Warp test. Started my iSonic 111 under it, but because the wind was very soft from finally switched on my newly purchased iSonic 121. That went better, but wind continued to off so have to stop. Was a nice day, little little wind, but with its Sun was really enjoying it. [Read...]

Lots of Select SL7/RS7's get problems with a disengage base. Peterman has a nice article transferred. I have been given in 2009 a RS7 49 cm where the base apart from was. I have a 41 cm. This weekend I was the garage to clean it up and I found old base. I have always just made photos, instructive. That I wanted you guys don't remember. [Read...]

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. [Read...]
