The bad: the predicted wind didn't came through.
The good: the predicted rain didn't came through either.
So no race today, because wind was too gusty. Sailed all day with my big board (Falcon SL104) and 6.9m². I really start to enjoy the board and I am happy with the results in the chop. Later on I changed for 10 minutes to Falcon SL80 and 6.3, but my energy was already gone and my max speeds never reached those of the Falcon SL104.
At the end, I finished 9th on the Belgian ranking (out of 21) and 20th on the internationale ranking (out of 41). Very happy with the results in my first windsurf competition ever. At the price-giving I won a Sonntag Fin GPS4-26. I can't wait to test it under the Falcon Speed!! Thanks Joerg !!
Overall a very nice week with every day some windsurfing (6 days), sun, friends, good food & booze. Unfortunately no tramontana this time. Next year again?
