I was on a spot hopping tour today. First I started at de Punt with André Hoogendam. I rigged 5.4 search with Freewave 86 but the moment I hit the water the wind died. After some talking and seeing that the wind didn’t came back I decided to go the other side of the dam.
The Brouwersdam session with 5.4 search and freewave 86 was quit nice. There were some nice waves to jump on which really makes my day. After 1,5 hour the wind increased and the 5.4 was getting to big. In my car was also a ff80 and a rsr5.4 and waiting for playing outside.
I drove my car to lake Oostvoorne and decided to give it a try. I saw Hans bluesteel surfing with his 7.0 so I was afraid that the 5.4 rsr would be a little bit to small. But the wind was good in the beginning and I even get the set planning. Yeah that feels good.
The first run was the fastest after that the wind was dying and I missed power to go downwind at the dam. I keep sailing with the set to get some feeling with it and I was surprised that I still make 65 runs even if I didn’t feel any power in the sail. After 1,5 hour sailing I decided that this was the end of the day. I had good fun and saw a lot of team members today.
