17 November 2024: Lovely sunny chilly session
Monday 18 November 2024
Sunny weather, beter wind. Lots of friends. Sailed the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113. Lots of long runs across the lake. Set was nicely fast. Sailed with sunglasses for the first time. Top session, lovely sunny, good wind. Yes chilly, it's November! Maybe the One 95 with 5.3 would have been nice too, but now I could try to keep up with friends. [Read...]
16 November 2024: Cold light weather day
Sunday 17 November 2024
Wind predicted for hot weekend, Saturday SW and Sunday NW. I was hoping for 6m weather, unfortunately the wind was disappointing, lots of 8+ sails on the water. For the first time in over 2 years I used the S-Type 8.3. On the iSonic 117 with Busca 46cm, of course. Wind minimal, sail on minimum trim, not fast but almost always planing. Cold feet, no more weather for summer shoes. Not warm, wind unfortunately minimal. Nice to do some planing, but definitely had better days. Nice to see that I can plane quite early with only a 75cm wide board. [Read...]

Tuesday 12 November 2024
After two weeks of windless and gray weather, finally the weather changed, finally sailing. Sailed with the Banzai 5.3 on the One 95 with MFC 22.5/11cm thrusters Waves were nothing special, but sometimes a nice front-side hit. Wonderful to have sailed again. Waves weren't great. Sunshine was lovely. It was busy for a Monday in November, Belgians had a day off. [Read...]
01 October 2024: Great but overcast day
Saterday 05 October 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...]
