04 July 2026: Summer afternoon freeriding
zondag 05 juli 2026
Finally surfing again. Jeroen went winging, so we went to the Botenhelling together. Sailed with the E-Type 6.6 on F-Cross 113 with Select Edge 35cm. Less wind near the shore, more further out, I was planing easily. Behind the island less wind. beyond the island it was better again. Making long runs all the time. Behind the island a bit of downwind to stay planing. Wind a bit minimal for planing gybes. Nice to have sailed again. The 6.6 was a good choice! [Read...]

maandag 11 mei 2026
Finally good wind again, NNE, but that can be very nice on Brouwersdam South. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the Goya One 95 with different fins. Sailed longer than I expected. The 5.3 was the right size all afternoon. The sun was nice, the wind was a bit chilly. First time this year sailed without a winter suit. [Read...]
12 March 2026: Nice sunshine
vrijdag 13 maart 2026
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. [Read...]
22 February 2026: Finally SW wind and warmer weather: season has started
maandag 23 februari 2026
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. [Read...]
