Gevaren met de proto 48.
We hadden er 3 mee, Serge voer op de 40 en Martin op de 46, die sprong er echt uit, watch out for the posting of Martin van Meurs !!!!!
Het was in ieder geval een leerzame dag, we zijn weer een hoop wijzer !!

| 3 dagen geleden nog op het ijs in het Noorden nu op het water in Zuiden. Dezelfde snelheden behaald, maar op het ijs ging dat een stuk relaxter. Vandaag, onder moeilijke omstandigheden, liep het niet lekker.

When the day started and I would have been happy to even be able to do some test runs. the last two days I could hardly walk due to extreme bak problems and doubted whether it would be wise to do a surf session but the forecast looked too good to not at least give it a try. At the end of the day the guys nearly needed to carry me into the car. My back and my hip hurt even more but at least I then knew the new gear works!!! Yiihhaarrrr.
The first apporved Infinity board is a fact. It's new, it's fresh, it's different. This might sound cocky but Ron and I created something I am really proud off. The board doesn't look like any board now available, is self balancing and sails over chop as if there is no chop. It might not be faster for top surfers but is at least just as fast and it will help windsrfers of different levels to go faster more easily. the design is more a freerace design than a pure rae design but it's a killer speedwise. The design objective was exactly the same as the Slingshot desing objective: widen the range in which gear an be used. I am sure in lighter windspeeds and on bigger boards the differences will get even bigger. OK, so much for brangging, I hope you figive me as I am stoked about the day. This must be a crippled man's world Record haha.
Jurjen pushed me and overtook me half way during the session. I needed to sit and watch for 15 minutes after every painful run and saw just how balanced his set looked and how stylish he was conquering the difficult conditions. I was a bit underpowered and just when I acepted the fact he beat me the wind swung back a little and increased just enoough to make the 5.0 work. Kudos to you Jurjen, without this lucky change you would have taken the day.
When the wind swung round a little at the end of the afternoon I already could hardly walk, but I wanted to try and get the day victory in. the Point 7 5.0 (yeah baby) started to deliver the power I needed. It's really extremely well balanced and I am totally stoked about the performane of the sail. The leech opens up a lot and I am sure in the right windrange it will deliver the goods for extreme topspeeds. The last two runs were nearly just as fast topspeedwise and on any other day I would have pushed for 90km/h as I felt this was possible. But my body just quit working so I had to stop. Still a happy man and speedwise a great way to start my sailing year...

| Sorry. I forgot to mention Serge and Marcel who have been working together with me for the last couple of years. We discussed so many crazy ideas over the years and they are a very important factor and great supporters. Without their moral and deep insight tech support the ideas would have never come to life.

Like expected my GPS is completely fucked-up. Only registered 1 run well.
I was noticing that is was doing pretty good, long runs, doing over 43 knots max speeds but runs of 32 knots !!!
These non-waterproof ( not even humidity proof ) devices are making me crazy; have to buy another one for the ...'th time ( I stopped counting )
After many months not sailing I was not in top shape however, having difficulty holding the boom sometimes ( at these speeds not very nice ). Need some TOW urgently ( and some new gear .... )
At least I was a day out and had some fun. Nice atmosphere today with loads of new yummie equipment ...
