13 May 2023: Lovely afternoon, finally warm
Sunday 14 May 2023
19 degrees and sun predicted. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3, first on the F-Cross 113, later with the Goya One 95. Unfortunately, the stamina is gone after having been sick twice last month, so quickly tired. The weather was lovely. Wind not too gusty and clear blue and finally not too cold. [Read...]
15 April 2023: Wonderful evening session at sea
Tuesday 18 April 2023
Forecast: north and increasing in late afternoon, normally typical summer weather, but now with only 12 degrees. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 with F-Cross 113, first with the Patrik 32cm, later with the MFC 34cm. The F-Cross 113 didn't feel too big for the Banzai 5.3. Sailed until I was tired, condition still not back. It was nice. Gusty as always with north at Brouwersdam Zuid. I should have taken the 6.0. [Read...]
12 April 2023: Lovely afternoon at sea
Sunday 16 April 2023
Good SW wind forecast, increasing in the afternoon. Started with the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113, when the wind increased switched to the Banzai 4.7 and the One 95. 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. [Read...]
25 March 2023: 2nd storm in March
Sunday 02 April 2023
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. [Read...]
