After a horrible week today should be the day but off course it wouldn't be the day. Wind strenght was perfect, water was superflat with no swell but the angle was deadsquare so I could sail almost as fast upwind as downwind. Speeds were around 66km/h/36 knots so you had the bear away on to the sea. The problem is that you can hardly stop because of the wind and immense speed you get in a short time(6 km/h faster per second) so second run I crashed and it took a while to come back to the shore. So I quit doing that since ita was also freaking cold with 7 dgr C. So sander could beat the man that went 90 again with 6 km/h difference. Well done my son. After a couple of hours we left to go back home having lots of snow in the mountains. So time to quit surfing and go mtbiking and snowboarding. A week with high expectations based on the forecast but which were not fullfilled. Sometimes you win some sometimes you loose some, no highs without lows.
