REVIEW: EZZY LEGACY 2013
This year I bought myself a brand new set of sails for the first time ever in my live! As I sailed Ezzy Wave SE 2008 sails, which still did very good, I was looking for a moment to replace my most used sails into new Ezzy’s. I really like the Elite, as well as [...]
REVIEW: QUATRO THRUSTER LS 82 VS QUAD LS 84 (2013)
Jacco and Peter did reviews of their Quatro Thruster LS and Quad LS a few weeks ago. We thought it would be nice to switch their boards to see what the difference and similarities are between these boards (apart from the obvious fin setup). Here’s what they had to say after a sweet session on [...]
REVIEW POINT-7 SALT 4.8 (2013)
After weeks of offshore winds we finally got some good forecasts. Best winds and waves predicted in Bretagne but as that is a 11 hour drive we headed up for a one-day-trip to Wissant, a three hour drive. For three weeks a a brand new P7 Salt 4.8/5.6 and a 3-batten Swag were waiting in [...]
PROJECT X – FLIKKA ‘BOX OF GOLD’ PART 1
For a while I’ve been thinking about a board that really would fulfill my demands in light wind conditions. A few months ago I sold my Quatro Quad LS95, a superb board which I’ve been using the last years with lots of pleasure. But it was time for a change! Last January I visited the [...]
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? THE LAKE SESSION
As a follow up on Richards experiences at sea, my story on the lake with different effects… March is behaving crazy, the 5th we had record breaking warmth with 17 degrees, but no wind… Then the rain came and we had a record on the 9th with 24hours nonstop raining. And the cold returned. At [...]
HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?
We haven’t been very fortunate these past weeks when it comes to warm weather and strong wind (from a favourable direction). This doesn’t mean you have to stay at home in front of the fireplace. Let me tell you what I did when I surfed my coldest sessions ever! It started with a very cold [...]
GET READY FOR THE BOARDKINGS WINDSURF TRIP 2013
We’re still waiting for some good windsurf sessions here in the Netherlands, but that doesn’t stop us from starting to plan the best week long session of all; the BoardKings windsurf trip 2013. We had a great group of windsurfers during last years trip to Brandon Bay. We had an amazing time, even if the [...]
INCREASE YOUR TIME ON THE WATER, GO SUP!
One year ago I decided to sell my slalom gear (Isonics and Severne Code Reds) as I live in Scheveningen close to the North Sea and only once in a while used my slalom gear in light winds. I decided to start supping to get more TOW (Time On the Water) on windless periods and bought myself a Starboard Hero, a 9′ ,33″ [...]
WIJK AAN ZEE: SUNDOWN SESSION
At the 3rd of November it was a really nice session with a good wind, I sailed the blue Neil Pryde Alpha 4.7m2 on the 75 liter F2 Rebel. DirkB was filming with his GoPro and even mounted it on my rig! Even though the light went slowly off, the picture is pretty good and [...]
NUTRITION – WHAT’S BEST FOR WINDSURFING?
As you all know, windsurfing is the best sport in the world. We can’t wait for the next session and spend days looking at the forecast to know when we can be on the water again. Obviously we all want to get as much out of each session as we possible can. One of the [...]
