Had to try this course with South, turns out to be potentially fast. Benny had very good speed. I just regret my own skills in these short gusts mainly in the first few hundred meter of each run. But I tried, with 6 runs just enough for some average that looks like speed, but not satisfied with the fact my average is slower than windgusts strenght. Much to do before I come even close to the topguys like Ben.
The sail and board behaved very well. Also I noticed the C3 slingshot was under many boards, most seem to prefer it even over the Caspar speed!! Great to see such design working for a big group of speedsurfers, after today seeing it myself I cannot other say to Boogie "congrats, mission accomplished".
Day in a few words: Power speedsurfing

had to cut this session short to catch the plane but happy I could sail for an hour and break my PR!! seemed like it was just getting better and better, so I expect the other guys to post some nice results too. Benny had 2 runs of 44+ already when I left, awesome conditions at kuitje today.
Off to Cape Verde in 30 mins Yeaha!!

Nice day at Den Helder, finally the perfect windangle; South.
Used the C3 Slingshot 21 for the first time and i like it a lot! Very fast and very safe. The run was really bumpy apart from the last 45 minutes or so when it flattened more and more. Had to quit cause night was already falling and I was exhausted. It's ll or nothing this year. Ben was superb with the Slingshot 21 and his new Loft Sails. He showd today that both fin andsail do their work. Congratulations with you super fast speeds Ben. Peter Volwater was there as well but had to quit earkly as the PWA event in cabo Verde is waiting and he had to catch the plane at 5 PM today. 3rd best session for me so not too bad. Starting to get to know the fin more and more.

Wow guys impressive speeds. Looks that it was very good today. I´m very curious to Ben´s speeds. I guess we just have to wait till he post them before we really know it.

Super session, nice with the usual speed addicts. it was cold 3,5 degrees when I arrived with my car. I had to settle a few runs to get used to the spot and the cold. Slowly the runs increased to in total 11 runs of 75 or more.
The C3 slingshot is super, control control control.

Well I got a PR today . I have been to tarifa for the past 10 days were I was trying out some of the loft sails wich were very nice they gave me some sails to try out at home and see how the latest small preproduction sails are going . And yes here we go a PR first try !!! And topspeed of 90,00 on the software !!!!!!!
So I will be joining loft sails for the coming season.
Conditions were pretty good but very gusty and needed to do lots of runs to get the magic gust . More wind would have been even faster but was pretty nice already.

De combi wind, chop, board, zeil en rijder was niet optimaal vandaag. Met geen mogelijkheid heb ik m'n zeil dicht kunnen krijgen. Max the gap was het devies. Kortom, een top van 72 met zonder zeil is dus ook een prima prestatie ;-) Het lijkt er iig op dat de 5.7 Ram F10 niet gemaakt is voor de 45knts vlagen die over het Kuitje kwamen zetten. Upwind ging wel lekker trouwens. Ik bespeur een trend...
