01 October 2024: Great but overcast day
zaterdag 05 oktober 2024
Forecast looked like very strong winds, really a storm. The morning itself the wind was a lot less. Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the Slate 96, later on the One 95. Demolished 2DaKine Core Contour footstraps. 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. [Read...]
28 September 2024: Light wind session after a storm
zondag 29 september 2024
Day after the storm: decreasing wind, until about 2 to 3 o'clock there was good wind predicted. First checked the Grevelingendam, but there the wind was too north and not strong enough. Sailed with the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113 with MFC 32cm Wind sometimes completely gone, but for the rest a really nice freeride session. More sun then expected. [Read...]
10 September 2024: Gusty evening session
vrijdag 13 september 2024
Finally good WSW wind predicted: another evening sessions. 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. [Read...]
09 September 2024: Short intense session
vrijdag 13 september 2024
Forecast was very good for a nice evening session at Brouwersdam south. Too bad the direction was NW and it was high-tide: the infamous shore-break. 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.
