Kudos to the guys who went to da Curve. Sound like you had a great session!

Sander was flying at the Brace. The light wind king is definitely back but something tells me he is learning to cope with the stronger winds in near future. Still I am happy to be that close to him as Sander is clearly with the very fasdtest in the world at the moment in conditions like this and it's inspiring to race him.

Personally I had a great testing day on the UFO asy 18. the differences with the UFO Wide are huge. Both are great fins with the UFO Wide as an exeptional control fin which can be sailed long and short in various conditions. We're now in the stage riders are getting familiar with the fins behaviour and we have to find out the strength and the weanesses of the fin. In spots like Karpathos it's better to go for a normal high aspect UFO. On our waddenzee spots when using the right length you can really fly the fin at ease also when choosing bigger sizes.

Both the UFO Wide and the UFO Asy have got sublime control in the gusts. Ease of use, just like with the boards was the main goal from monent 0 onward and I feel more and more sucere we succeeded in our mission. In the beginning of the session I deliberatly went full into the chop forcing two crashes and releasing my front arm to feel if the fin would hold. I want to mae sure we create the perfect fin for the part of the Luderitz crew using our fins. After todays session I am getting more convinced the Asy will do the trick at the back part of the course where the chop rises and riders need to go full throttle and full commitment to get the record in they are after.

For my personal GPS record hunts I think the Asy will help me to come back and fight with the big boys for the title. Speeds are definitely rising again and those who have written me off not long ago should better watch out :-)
