The eveningsessions are getting shorter each time...For the first time today i went on my AB+59 (95L), it took some time getting used to it, but quickly a max GPS 70.30kmh was shown on the gps. Very pleased with the board. I sold my Fanatic Falcon 102L. Instead i have now a smaller one 95L for 7.2m2 and still searching for a bigger sized slalom board with approximately 107 upto 112L for my 7.9m2 only. A bit more float, a bit more comfort, perhaps ill go for a freerace board next season. I'm happy to have my AB+ range complete(almost)! AB+46,AB+54,AB+59! only an AB+67 is missing here.
For an better average this evening, I needed a bit more time. But it got dark so soon. Ended up sailing alone in the dark, with my dark sails :-). Windspeeds were about 17-32 knots in a southwest direction.

Missed out a huge stormsession @ Wijk.. :-(

Windspeeds max 27,4m/s 53knots !!! Unbelievable.. cant believe i missed out (again) cause of Worrrrrrrrrrrrk.

Quad vs Trifin !? Sunday 11th September 2011 Wijk aan zee

I had 2 boards to try out this sunday! As i had been searching for a good replacement for my S.O.S.Rocket 92, which i recently sold.. i was able to borrow a witchcraft V3.0 92L trifin and a Quatro Quad LS95! exactly the type of boards i had in mind.

Can you see the differences in the bottumshape? A total other concept.

But first things first. Got to take them out on the water :-)
Sunday 11 september i headed to wijk aan zee.

The conditions were unfortunately quite minimal but sideshore.

Rigged the 5.4m2 sado 2g.

a few GOPRO shots!

A sunny session it was. The board feels very loose on the water, but yet gives enough lift cause the 4 fins. It doesnt brake out in the bottomturns. The stance was a bit wide for me.. but ill change that anytime soon.

When i wanted to change the quad 95 for a trifin 92L the wind dropped. Later on the day i gave the witchcraft V3.0 back to its original happy owner Jeroen G. He wasnt selling his board anyway ;o)

I think i find a very good replacement with this Quatro Quad LS95.

Afterwork session @ Horst 6th of september 2011

Late afterwork session.. as always very late on the water.. got a few runs before dark.

Today i brought my AB+46speed with me, that with the P7 6.3m2 Ac1-2k ii.

SSW -14-30knots

gps-speed rankings from today.. Its not a complete version though, as im typing thise many other people are still uploading their data..

had to get used to my AB+46 speed board a little, as it was the first time sailing this AB+ board and slingshot 21cm.

Didnt get the speeds i wanted, although it was fun trying out new shizzle.

I should of put my AB+54 board underneeth for better speeds and more planing time in these short moments before dark. Next time a bit more sun pretty please and some more hours quality on the water. ;-)

At wavespot Wijk aan zee, there was a reall stormchase going on, unfortunately had to miss out on that one.. could of been fun, saling the 3.3m2 again!

Been sailing till total darkness came in...

speedsession tommorow? it sure looks good!

Another stormchase in our country!! YES
At my home/wave spot Wijk.. 40+knots and sideshore!!!! Wow..

But im going to miss out on that. :-( As i have to work all day, and only have a bit time left to play out here on the lake before dark. It's going to be a short afterwork speedsession @Strand Horst. windspeeds there upto 40knots..Should be enough for my smallest racesail 6.3m2...(need to find myself a 5.5 for these conditions i think) and windspeeds should be increasing during daytime. im glad because im there after 6:30 pm.Normally 90% of the days im speeding afterwork. im to late and missed out on the good winds lol ;o)

Hopefully i can have my 5x10 sec runs before it gets dark. I'm Excited to use one of my new speed' toys. Tommorow it should be the day that im going to try out for a first; the AB+46 SPEED, aswell a first with a 21cm C3 slingshot underneeth.
