Butt session @ horst

A cloudy rainyday. Only enough wind when there was thunder going on.
When i got on the wind just left and it cleared up.

As i wanted to try out my newest lightwind board mistral-AB+123L i went into the water anyway.

It took about an hour before the wind picked up and was enough to go planing, combined with some more rain.

For sure it was a Joyfull session ,but okay i at least planed for a bit. Shortly after the wind vanished totally and the sun came up. Heard that the boys at wijk aan zee had a better (wave)session. 6 beaufort and sun all day long. Next time!!!! :-)

SUPing and Wavesailing @ IJmuiden 15-4-2012

windspeed 9.5 ms - 13.5 ms
winddirection 358 - 20 degrees.
watertemperature 10 degrees.

On my way to IJmuiden for a another cold session.

Minimal waves and around 4-5 beaufort.. decided to go on my SUP first. For me it was today the very first time doing it in the sea with waves.

Ive been supping for about max 1.5 hours.

The wind got stronger by the time.

I have to admit it was quite difficult and i sure do need more practise ripping waves with a SUP. But id enjoyed it a lot.

Afterwards i rigged up my 5.4m2 Sado 2G and quad LS95 underneeth.. HAd my piece of fun, but hoped for bigger waves.

I had some really nice waverides.. unfortunately my GoPro wasnt fully charged, it ran out of battery in couple of laps.

HAd to be home in time, around 3pm i loaded my car and got back home asap.

control at the exitgate, but didnt had to pay, cause the owner of the place still owed me a freeparkingticket. :-)

Skyline @ Zandvoort 31 march 2012

Northern wind around 5-6 beaufort... Where to go? It was first my intention to go towards IJmuiden/IJmuiderslag, but out there were no waves at all!

Means why i ended up @ The Skyline of Zandvoort. See on the background of the pic.

Waves, but combined with a strong current.
I rigged my 5.4m2 and 95L and of we go.

It was nice to see several surfbuddies again @the skyline.

About todays session, Ive been walking to many kilometres with my gear along the coastline 8-) What a current! But hey.. i wasnt the only one walking.. :-)

Check the background.. a train of backpackers ;o)

It was nice to be on the water again, but ive had better days for sure. The water was still quite cold, but at least we got a bit of sun!

Another day @ the beach.. finally some muvees again..

I finally got to edit some of the days that i had my gopro camera with me. A Mellow day at the beach of Wijk - 5 octobre 2012.



More movies will follow up soon(er)!
