After waiting such a long time on wednesday i finally received the production JP Speedboard just in time for the Speed World Cup in Karpathos. I hoped to get some wind this weekend to get used to the boards but the forecast isn't that good. Today i had other things to take care of so i was only able to sail in the evening.
I was so lucky that the wind just started in the evening.
After this session i'm 100% sure which boards and fins to take to Karpathos. Antoine and Christophe (shaper) came with some real fast speedboards, i broke today several records and this was only the first time on the board.
-spot record Oostvoornsemeer in topspeed, 10sec average, 500m etc etc. Was previously set with a 5,8 and a lot more wind.
-fastest average ever for me on a 7,0!

I look forward to sail the smaller sizes aswell in Karpathos. But the biggest size i sailed today is already fast enough for those conditions over there. Just have to bring one board......i guess.

Also proud to be the first to post with the 2010 JP Speed production boards on this website. Hopefully many more will follow.
