First session in the New year and since a few weeks.
For today the first thing was, is it possible to go for a sail!? As Yesterday some guy’s done the Dutch championships windsurf Ice skating in - 4 degrees I was not to sure if it would be possible to do . On the other hand I had already this year 2 surfing session’s in minus condition’s and that was more than okay..
After first in the morning done some work as a carpenter outside in 2 degrees weather, I hit the road at 2 o’clock to Wijk Aan Zee.
Once there I found out I was not the only crazy one..
I tuned my 5.0 Swell up and put for the first time the twin fin’s in my brand new NewTwinser 84L.
There we went
In the begin the swell was still breaking between the beach break and second break.
The wave were okay but not really special. The temperature was okay as I was fully dressed in winter tune.
As the high tide came in the we changed from secret to jetty.
There the waves tuned slowly from low to a slow okay wave.
A good friend of my brought his Camera along in his bag, so we could make pic’s of those cold conditions.
We sailed there with a group for a while, but slowly the cold took all energy out of the other guys and soon we were just with two off us. Also my friend had to stop and went away with the camera.
So there I was me my self and me, ripping my bud off.. For three quarters the waves fully lined up against the jetty in to 2,5 powerfull waves. Well who beliefs me, no camera no friends just me and the waves . Nice
I ript my last wave all the way back to the secret and there I switch the light out.
Short feedback for now is: early plane, good upwind, loose on the wave, can turn really short if needed, short turning in top turn with a fast release after top turn and good acceleration on the wave.
Soon more feedback.
Many Thanks to O’Neill Wetsuit's who made it possible to sail for 2,5 hours in 4/5 degrees. Thanks
Stay tuned and see you on the flip side.
