La Franqui 2 September 2019

Wall to wall sun shine, warm air, warm water, no danger from sandbanks or whatsoever, a perfect beachline but......

Just like Jean Marc said, very irregular wind, both in strength and in direction. from nothing to 20-30-35 kt and back. Sometimes it was a long wait to be able to get wind again, after crawling back upwind, ending up to far out at sea.

Still it was a good session, happens to be my 3th in AVG and a PB on 500m!

I was out early enough to catch the best wind of the day, others had less luck ;) apart from Vinnie who seems to make his own wind and go fast as hell!

Although wind was to light for me for decent speeds on 5.6m² I managed to get the trim of the sail so good that even in these shitty conditions I could stand my man ;) Man I love these Racing Blade 5.6 so much more than the Speed Blade. For me the Racing Blade is much more stable and powerful! Inthese conditions 78 km/h gives confidence for another day with more wind.

Tnx Vinnie for the good Fin advise, it worked today!

Great battle in the most sportive sense between Koen and me, yesterday Koen Won, today it's my turn ;)

Good to be still able to practice this fabulous sport!
