Sunday was a great windsurfing day in the Netherlands. The absence of wind started to annoy me a bit so I was really happy with this day. But the lack of wind in the passed weeks gave me some time to get my RS Slalom repaired without missing to much action.
Anyway, Jeffrey (also a Dutch Fun Speeder) made great photos during that day. He was standing in the water while the speedsurfers were passing him at high speeds. That’s is possible at Strand Horst since the water is knee deep. I hope you were also on the water otherwise you missed a lot of action. Check out his shots over here.
Did you ever wonder how you should set up and tune your quad fin board? Starboard presents a short technical video which explains the 5 fin settings on the board. Check it out over here.
Maui Sails Just released a great action packed video about their fastest race sail, the TR-6. The sail designers Barry Spanier, Artur Szpunar and pro windsurfer Peter Volwater talk also about what has changed in this year`s TR-6.
There is some great high-speed gybing in the video. So you can use this video to help visualizing your gybes. Visualizing a move can help you improve your technique when you are back on the water.
The Miss Reef Pre Party was held last Sunday. “The Spot” at Zandvoort was the place to be to check out all the Miss Reef Holland contenders. 14 chicas battled for a spot in the upcoming finals. Eventually, only one miss can call her self Miss Reef Holland.
