At start of the day 08.00 AM no wind at all, finally at 09.00 hours there happens something and at one moment, 10 minutes later we had 30-40 knots.
So rigged up the Reflex R8 5.7 and went to the water and made some speeds.
The wind was very broad, about 310-320 degrees, so starting was more difficult and there was rolling chop on the speedstrip. Slingshotted one time, but give me not a comfortable feeling, to went in straight line at the beach and tried to keep safe.
Although, the wind shifted more and more to NNW and stopped after a few hours, had some good speeds and a lot of fun, that's most important.
Nice to surf again with Gerlof, Hendrik and DirkJan and the other speedies!
