08 June 2025: Perfect surfing weather, too bad we have seaweed
dinsdag 10 juni 2025
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? [Read...]
25 May 2025: Finally good SW wind again
maandag 26 mei 2025
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. [Read...]
30 March 2025: Finally surfing again
zondag 13 april 2025
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. [Read...]
16 December 2024: Nice slalom session
woensdag 18 december 2024
Finally a SW wind predicted, unfortunately the wind was disappointing. 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. [Read...]
