First time on the spot arrived a bit late and tired from getting out of bed at 03:00h after 3,5 hours sleep. Then drive 3hours picking up Jacques and Wouter to go the brace for a mudwalk/crap session/mudwalk then derigged and went to catch some wind at the Houw. Happy this turned out to be a good decision. Had to get used to the spot a little and get some confidence but after 5 runs it felt good and the speeds got up. It's a nice spot bit crowded but fun and really good conditions but a bit more wind would have been nice.
