Couldn't get real speed out of it..... Brick wall seemed to be a bit to low today, the waves were flying over it. But what a nice sunny day!

Congrats to Dennis and the others with the PB's

5 januari 2012 and already the 3rd good speedsession, what a year;-)

Had to go to Herkingen to give Hans a new board, but last minute he didn't show up as he had to work. So i was in Herkingen and it was windy. Decided to give it a try and was just cruising along the brick walls. I'm sure the conditions where perfect to break the spotrecord, but without Hans i'm scared to go downwind;-). And we have a rule (he stil don't know about) that we don't take spotrecords when the record holder is not there.... Lucky you Hans.

Was there at first light, wind was up and down. Difficult what to rig, but took 5.5 and it was OK. It was nice lightly broad angle sailing out and the first part flat. But halfway the course the waves came over the dam and gave a nasty chop. In combination with the strong gusts, rain showers and low temps it didn't allow for fooling around.

Happy with the control and results, but I know much more was possible today!
