22 June 2025: One of the most fun surf sessions in years
Sunday 29 June 2025
After a few tropical days, the wind would be very good on Sunday evening. Sailed with the Banzai 4.7 on the One 95 with White Water 8.0 and MFC 11cm thrusters Get on the board and was planing. First wave, directly jumping. Back towards the beach wave riding. It was great. The weather and the water were warm. The wind was good, not too gusty. Waves were quite good, sometimes 1m high and longer lines where multiple hits were possible. [Read...]
08 June 2025: Perfect surfing weather, too bad we have seaweed
Tuesday 10 June 2025
Forecast looked perfect for the Grevelingendam: WNW and 20 knots of wind with little rain. Sailed the Banazai 5.3 and 4.7 on the Goya One 95. There were a lot of nice waves. But unfortunately there was also quite a bit of seaweed. I had 3 catapults. Wind was great, stable and perfect direction for the Grevelingendam. Sun even came through every now and then, no rain. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of seaweed, especially in the shallower water. Time to buy a few weed fins? [Read...]
25 May 2025: Finally good SW wind again
Monday 26 May 2025
Only the 2nd session of the year, and that at the end of May: not the best spring. We have had no SW wind at all. Sailed the Banzai 4.2 on the Grip 93 with MFC 20/10 thruster fins. It was great to have good WSW wind again. And then the first 1.5 hours also clear blue sky: wonderful. Too bad I didn't have a good surfing condition myself, so I was tired quickly. [Read...]
30 March 2025: Finally surfing again
Sunday 13 April 2025
Very late start of the season. Unfortunately a long time no wind, or just too cold. Sailed the Banzai 6.0 on the F-Cross 113 with MFC 32cm. Great to finally be surfing again. In retrospect, the Grevelingendam was the best choice. Somehow there was less wind at the sea. Clear blue sky, lovely sunshine. Not really cold, not needed my mittens. [Read...]
