WD Jacques

Good luck with keeping Dave off your tail

Thats an amazing 12 hr record. Well done Jacques, but why did you stop just short of the record?

Well done mate that is huuuugeee, we have some guys here in Tassie planning some big distance numbers.

Awesome distance. Well done champ

Insane distance, could'nt believe my eyes..
A real champ indeed!!!

Jacques, awesome effort you have knocked off our world record holder. Down here in Tassie we're getting close to winter and the winds become unreliable but I can garrantee Dave Morehead and Kaleb Smith will give you stiff competion next season, Dave will be busting to get it back

cheers from Tassie

Incrediblle! Congartulations!

Fantastic effort

Magnificent effort Jacques. Congratulations.

Please tell us where??  so we can have a look at the spot on Google Earth. Maybe post a plot!

What was your total mission time - I see someone said 13 hours 12 mins not counting breaks - what was your start and finish times for the day??

Fantastic stuff - no one can dispute you are top dog on GPSTC! Congrats again.

People, check http://www.chopteam.nl/?p=802 

Thanks for al the nice words, but afterwards i can say that i'm sure many people can reach this, you just have to go for it and try to come in this flow and sail without your brains on the automatic pilot. My only goal was to improve my personal best of 232 km to get some more points in distance to beat my buddy Hans in the individual rankings. I never thought about doing this much distance, but i'm happy i did.

Tomorrow i will write my story and try to include some google earth images of the track. I was sailing with 2 gsp devices, maybe i can put the track online somewere?

Tremendous Jacques, well done on taking the distance crown for 2011 so far............

Jacques, Well Done!  Absolutely awesome effort.  What gear did you use?

Well done Jacques, awesome effort and congrats on the number 1 ranking

 Jacques,  Congratulations ,fantatastic surfing with a world record as a result  .  Respect for those numbers . Your right what you say about long distance : 

 but afterwards i can say that i'm sure many people can reach this, you just have to go for it and try to come in this flow and sail without your brains on the automatic pilot.

I 100% agree with this, its as simpel as it is.

The waiting on the perfect day is the hardest part.

This is what he was using.

Great effort Jacques.  Dave will be plotting his revenge

For us Belgians, Jacques is supernatural !

I did 421 km in 4 days just now so I can not really imagine doing 521 in 1 day ...

I was also surfing that day, and I can assure, it was not hot ... specially in the morning rain.

So, many congrats Jacques.
