Last month has been up and down with the weather in the Netherlands. Spring is starting but difficult to get the right windsurfing conditions in combonation with time available. I did have time to do some fin testing for the Falcon Lightwind and spend time windsurfing with my daugther!

Windsurfing with my daugther

Beautiful day on/at the water with my daughter. The best sport to enjoy together. Lightwind fun, good times. Today it felt like summer.





This picture is from 6 years ago at the same spot "Heeswijkse Plas". One of the lakes of my homespot "Kraaijenbergse Plassen" in the Netherlands.

Lightwind Fin testing

Sunny, windy, surfmates, top! 

A bit time for (Falcon 159) Lightwind Slalom fintesting! F-HOT S3 48, Choco Black Pearl 50, Gasoil 6/3 52, Select S1 57. What fin would be best for mini-formula, combi Warp 9.6. At my homespot Kraaijenbergse Plassen.

Used the Falcon 159 LW and Warp F2017 9.6.

Need more time/trimming with this combo to get more speed, not satisfied yet (max2sec 25,4 knots). Motivated!







My windsurftrack of today.
Fitness is improving, 32 km in light winds (8-16knots).



Lightwind Slalomfin testresult:

• Select S1 57cm to stiff, no lift, difficult to rail, sail free and push against.
• Choco Blackpearl 50cm, very good allround fin for this board with 9.0 and smaller
• F-HOT 48 cm, to small for this board
• F-HOT 54cm perfect, good lift and control, good railing, easy! Thx for trying Peter! Have to order one ;-) 

Weed Speed Race

Since 2013 we are organizing the Weed Speed Race event. This is a virtual speed event where you can post sessions on gps-speedsurfing.com. The spot is "Strand Horst", a well known speedspot in the middle of the Netherlands. My part in that is "ranking master", I developed the software for the dailly/yearly ranking. End of march we had the pricegiving ceremony at Telstar Surfclub with some nice prices from our sponsors. :-)
