2nd day on the canal and I'm starting to get the hang of it. Started with the 5.5 and couldn't get over 47, swapped up to the 6.0 and maxed just under 50. One more run then back to the 5.5. i never got a lit run all the way down though, perfect in and out of the course but lulls in the middle. My 5.8 should be here tomorrow,  it would have probably the right sail for today as Jurgen and Bjorn were on 5.6's and wearing weight. 

Next stop weight jacket.

Wind forecast for Saturday.

Ok, mission accomplished!

Last day here in Luderitz. And what a day it was. The forecast was good, but the wind did not really filled in. Lateron it did though...pff 24 runs and a PR on the 500m. 51.28 knots!!

Well done Jurjen, best of GP3S matching the best in the world....

Fantastische prestatie Jurjen.

Gefeliciteerd!

not my day...

Congrats with your result, it was nice following your trip. I hope next year more dutch people can fly on that strip..

One of the days you could dream of.....WSSRC 500M. : 50.56kts.

Antoine and Anders were again smoking down the course.....

really happy and satisfied with the gear, board and fin were safe and accelerative, sail was steady and powerful too....

i do think though i can improve and go even faster with more wind....sth to train for next year...;)

I would like also a good p.b. on the Nautical Mile....

BRAVO NIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible results and a great event -the best ever. Congrats to Jurjen for being up there with the best sailors in the world.

Super happy about today!

Te gek Jurjen, ik had niet gedacht dat er ooit zulke snelheden met windsurfen gehaald zouden worden.

@Jurjen! Prachtige tijden, gefeliciteerd!

Jurjen gefeliciteerd met je prachtige reeks en een mooie afsluiter. Dit moet de rest van de Dutch maar eens zien te overtreffen.

Antoine your the best and hopefully get the chance to prove that agains Björn, Anders, Patrik and the others on Saturday.

Slowly but steadily feeling better. Happy with on entry of over 49 knots at the start gate and the topspeeds at the end.

Now I need to overcome the last bit of fear due to the two crashes on the leeward bank a couple of days ago. One of which I hit at 46+ knots and i ate sand big time

Great day, strong but gusty.

Congratulations to Jurjen!!!!
