Early wake up call at 5am to catch the low tide (8:30) at my homespot Oesterdam. Wind was too broad (SE) in the beginning with rolling chop along the speedstrip. In the end the wind changed direction by more then 50° together with heavy rain and the water surface became more and more 'speed proof'. It wasn't easy to find the right gusts but managed to sail a 68+ average with my 6.3 sail... Too bad the tide didn't came a bit later when the wind picked up. Now off to work to fight the storm...yihaa I like those days :-)
PR homespot for me !! 3 surf sessions in 2 years... I still got the (surf)blues ;-)
Was also the first time on my new 2015 Blade 6.3 (was still covered by plastic !!) which I already have since end 2014...
