again nice speed day in the wadden sea.

i love this spot! sailable for a long time :-)

there must be reason why we do this long walk to the spot :-(((

 

but when u arrivie at the spot and rigg your material....you are already warm and ready for action.

 

unluckly the wind was not so strong :-(

first time with the starboard w 49....

nice board!  the nose of the board is much higher as by the the f2 boards....easy to surf over the chop.

must look for another fin! the 22er was a bit to small for this set up.

 

all in all a nice sailing day ... in relaxing winds :-)

 

and now its time for the first storms!

till there i will look for another "transport caddy" to the spot...

 

at the boot show i saw a skateboard with motor....hehe...
