Amazing that in a country as crowded as Holland and with so many speedsailors they have only just discovered this spot. How many untapped strips do we have in Australia?http://www.wind-surfing.nl/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?95

Now that looks like a real speed strip!!
Hmmmm.... not much on the horizon in the background downwind. Wonder where you end up if you break something?
Seems everyone in the speedsailing community is drooling about this place , even the Frenchies ( and Dutchies who post there) on their forums...

Oui, je connais tres bien la plupart des gars qui etaient la.
Et je connais bient leur niveau aussi.
Strand Horst (mon spot maison) est tres vite.
Mais ce spot-ci, c'est aisement 5 kmh plus vite.
Regardeze les resultats individuels, ceux qui etaient la la premiere fois on pulfurise TOUS leurs PR.
Par exemple Barry (spot maison aussi Strand Horst) - je pense qu'il a ameliore ces PR avec au moins 3-4 km. Normalement les ameliorements sont dans l'ordre de + 0.3 kmh....
My french translation... apologies to those who actually did learn french at school rather than backpacking through europe... :-))
"I know very well most of the guys who were there. And I know also their level.
Strand Horst ( my home spot) is very fast.
But this spot, this is easily 5km/h faster.
Look at the individual results. Those who were there the first time, they pulverised ALL their PRs.
For example, Barry (home spot also Strand Horst). I think he had improved his PR by at least 3-4 km/h. Normally the improvement are of the order of 0.3 km/h..."
Hmm.. not sure about the validity of the last sentence as someone who increased his PR by 1.3 knots at the same spot. But there is no doubting his enthusiasm for their new discovery.
