My PR's, got SMASHED big time!
First time on the speedboard mXr Rockstar 48 custom.
First time a new model Maui Ultra Fin speed02 widebased 20cm. Timm Daniel Kopke/ Maui Ultra Fins promised me that it would be faster then my old fins haha ;-). It has a thinner profile then my former slingshots and it looked very promising. Well it delived bigtimes. Rigged a P7 AC1 2k11 5.6m2 as it was windy enough.
Stayed over the weekend at waterman, Alex van der Meer, my wave/speed/sup-buddy haha. We got up early for this amazing speedsession. Alex was going like mad and had the biggest smile ever on his face haha. Congratulations mate with ur PR!
I was not able to do a lot of runs, like 9 runs. Had a hard time getting used to the board/low volume in the tailsection. But once i was standing on this 48cm wide speedmachine called 'Rockstar', it rocked for sure.
What a fabulous board. Those 3 steps breaking the chop and the back end designed for high end speed with a super small OFO 24.5cm!
The first run was my slowest, in the chop section 10sec/69kmh. Every run afterwards gave new PR's.
After 2 serious crashes, i stopped. My first crash was really hard. Must not have been a pretty sight for Alex who seen it happen. Gave my thumbs up to Alex, but needed seriously some time to recover. After the 2nd crash i damaged my gear and was not to be able to proceed. The last crash was my own fault though. My arms were tired. Did to much wavesailing earlier in the week. When i was going full speed, my front hand slipped off the boom. Just couldnt hold it anymore. Did a triple salto afterwards, broke my lines, straps etc. Luckily i was wearing an helmet/impactcrashvest. Walked the walk and called it a day. I'm glad today i went for a speedsession instead and finally break 6 PR's!
*72,28 km/h max - now PR @ 78.48km/h max

After the speedsession, still in my wetsuit, i drove to Ouddorp/lighttower. Rigged up my 5-Oceans wavesail 4.1m2 for a 2nd cooling down wave-session. :-) Ripped up some waves till dark. Time to go home.
