High-end of the FLIKKA ED's BOX 103L - 22th june 2013

This weekend POINT-7 present at Wijkiki beach - NL.

Everyone was able to get their hands on the 2013 Point-7 sails and feel by theirself how great these sails are. Organized by Harco Jan, Point-7 Benelux

On top of the dunes,  the FLIKKA boys were present aswell, with a really nice quiver of customs!

Can you see the Flikka magic allready?

carbon, textreme.. whatever you wishes are.. FLIKKA.nl makes it possible.

Today Bart ter H.  was able to get his hands on a SALT 3G 5.6m2.

(the salt3G 5.6 was mine though, but really stoked to give him a try out on these sails.)

Bart rigged, stoked and ready to hit the waters!

As my salt 3g was used by Bart, i rigged up a Salt 5.2m2 myself. The wind should increase during the day so it was allright taking a smaller sized sail.

flikka.nl also present @ Wijkiki - Kristian S. going out for a testride on the SALT3G 4.8m2.

------------------------------

Time to switch sails. At the parking the wind kept on increasing. I had in minds to get my 4.6m2 but took my SWAG 4.2m2 instead.  My big ED's Box 103L was still on the beach. I decided to try out the high end of my new flikka custom EDS BOX. 

okay, lets give it a try.... 4.2m2 almost overpowerd on a 103L custom box.

Never could of imagine that my new custom  would work out so good with high wind conditions, as its a super light wind board with 103Liters.
because of the very small fin setup that i use : Maui Ultra Fins 2x Xtwins 16.5 + Xtwin 14.5 center the flikka edsbox was still very controllable. I never had any hard timesor out of control.  Only in the sky and by the landings you could feel there was a wider board underneeth.

Today 2 lucky guys were able to have a little testride on my FLIKKA Shark Ed's Box 103L.. my friend Robin B. in the early morning and  in the afternoon Kristian S.  from flikka.nl   I'm very curious about their experiences about my custom EDS Box.

NEW Maui Ultra Fins Slalom Race fins 2013 @ the Palendijk - 10-07-2013

The Palendijk 

After a long day at the job last wednesday,  Jan and I went for a short eveningsession at the lakes nearby.

For me it was the first time sailing at this spot, called the Palendijk! ;-)



Its much deeper then speedspot Strand Horst. But your still able to keep your head above water.
I got a new Maui Ultra Fin underneeth my board!  A slalom racefin this time.  Very curious how it will work out. Underneeth a 75cm wide board a 40cm is quite small, but im always racing in shallow waters, thats why i wanted a Fin with a lot of surface.  This one should be it. You can compare this 40cm raceslalom fin from MUF with most other 44-46cm slalom fins.

The newest model Maui Ultra Fin Race slalom 40cm tuttlebox.  looking sweet aint it?

 This dude below was my caddy for today :)

 Here below is Jan B. sailing his loft 8.6m2 with his 133L starboard, combined with a huge weedfin underneeth. 

     as i dont have any bigger, i rigged up my Point-7 AC1 2k12 7.9m2! A great racing sail that is, which generates a lot of power.

The last fin i used for my Mistral AB+123Liter board was an C3 Sting 38cm. which was actually quite small for this board.  This MUF slalom race 40cm gives me good drive, enough lift and nice speeds. Im very pleased with it.  I switched sails for while with Jan. I used his loft switchblade 8.6m2 on my Mistral AB+123L. The 40cm fin worked out great with the bigger sail 8.6m2.  But i must say, i didnt plane  any earlier with the Loft Swithblade 8.6m2.  I guess the black racingmachine 7.9m2 generates more power and pull then the Loft Switchblade 8.6m2.
A total different sail, i prefer the  Black racing machine though.

The Palendijk, a nice spot for cruising, freeriding, chophopping and freestyle.  I'ts not the best location for speedsurfing. The chop is higher then at the other lakespot Strand Horst.

At this time of year there is to much weed everywhere on the lakes. Every few 100metres speed was reducing because of dragging  piles of weed along.
But it sure nice to be on the water again.

Share the stoke!                 and up to the next one.
