Surfing with my little boy @ Strand Horst

We have a short holiday coming up tommorow, that with family (my wife, kids, my moms, stephdad, sister and brother in law,) in Zeeland. That ll be fun. My Stephdad and sister wanting to learn windsurfing next week. How cool is that.
Today was good for some rooky surfing. I went with my son to Strand horst.

I rigged up my 7.9m2/FF102/Sting38cm...

but the conditions were to light for me to do any decent planing.

Todays setup for my son, the Malibu custom/2.5m2kidrig/MauiUltrafinwave25cm.

eveningsession @ Wijk 22th june 2011

Raining raining... on my way to wijk aan zee.

it cleared up while rigging. 8-) The wind was picking up too.

I thought i had the 5.0/5.4/6.6 inside the car, but it seemed i forgot my my 5.0m2!!! Ofcourse the wind was quite heavy and good for 4.7/5.0m2. Sooo i put on a 5.4, trimmed it to its max. with the SOS rocket92 and a to big of a fin 27cm.. (i sold my smaller ones, dont have new one yet.)

My 5.4 trimmed quite max.

I was on the water around 5pm till 9.30pm. Wearing my new O'neill psycho2 Z/Z 3x2mm wetsuit, this was just the suit i needed. Not to cold, and not TOO warm.
I had some nice waverides out there and some jumps and tabletops. Nothing fancy today, i had my hands full on the 5.4m2. SImply said it was to big.
THe waves were at time logohigh and sideon shore conditions.
Windspeeds 14 upto 19ms and about 225degrees SW direction.

Next time i hope there will be good side/sideoff condtions with a bunch of swell coming in.

short session @ Horst 19june 2011

As i didnt had to much time today, and still sore from all the wavesailing from yesterday, i went for a bit of cruising at Horst.

Rigged up the 6.3 ac1 2k11 with the FF102. I tried out a widebased 25cm fin underneeth. the biggest C3 Slingshot 25cm. On a wide course it didnt gave any problems with a 63cm wide board. going upwind i had to give in to others. Unfortunately i didnt had any speeds yet on the GPS, as after a few laps my battery went dead. Forgot to charge the dang thing. The most wind came when my gps was off.

Windspeeds 14-27 knots. West direction.

A short session. I had to be home on time. A great moment of the day was besides getting spoiled by my kids and wife because its fathersday today, was seeing an old friend HAnsie B. again, who i had not seen the last 10 years. He was still surfing on the same gear as 10 years ago and still is just as good as back then lol.
