I made a quick movie of a super day, midwind and long flatwater stretches, think you guys at the other end of the world would like to watch this, from The Netherlands, grtz Patrick.
Very nice! What board are you using? also like the music.
That's an old Fanatic Falcon 105 2008
Looks idyllic aside from the air temperature, which I am guessing is a bit cold?
No wonder the Netherlands speed teams go so fast!
Nice long runs, would hate to break something, long way back!
Where in the Netherlands is this?
It's in the south of the Netherlands, Zeeland, 1.45h drive from where I live in Belgium. The lake is "Grevelingenmeer" the spot is known as "Zonnemaire", indeed insane speeds are set here by some of the best speed sailors in the world, whom I don't have to mention here
Sometimes it gets windy there!. Today it was lowwind cruising around 20kt.
I'm glad you like the footage. It was a shame I had only less then half an hour because my battery wasn't charged. Next time I'll fix that
Temp was a bit on the chilly side with 8°C thats not much but it was sunny! And inthis part of the world it is getting warmer now
GPS?

There were 2 more buddies, Koen who's track got corrupt and wasn't able to post, and Geert, who is a fast free speeder
who doesn't use a GPS.
Great to see this location, you dragged off the first person at the start pretty well, must be the red hot chillies music!

Thats Koen, in fact he's a far more better windsurfer than I am. He is always faster then me, have to say I first used a brand new Hurricane fin, must be that, and ofcourse the red hot chilly. From now on there will be always one in my pants!
Speeds are not impressive, I'm just an avg amateur.
here's all my sessions :)

Cool spot do ya get much of a wind shadow from the wall.
Not at all, it is a low wall, stones just come a bit out of the water.
That’s the spirit.
Going fast because of a low battery.
