2 wavesailors, Bart de Vries and I went for a 3 day roadtrip to La Palme, plage du Rouet.
Not really sure what too expect because it was my 1st speedadventure outside the country.
Left our wavegear at home, dusted off some speedgear and went for a 14 hour drive. Mostly when a storm hits the country, we are wavesailing. For this occasion, we went in search for some flatass conditions. Lets see what a wavesailor can do on a speedboard.
It went more then okay. I broke several PR’s. My goal was to hit 80.00kmh. After 2 days it went up to a New MAX speed 87.62KMH
and broke 2 times my PR on a Nautical Mile.
Bart de Vries broke also a lot of his PR’s and bruised unfortunately his ribs on the last day, just moments before we drove back home.
Equipment: I was basicly 3 sessions on the same board mXr rockstar48, Neilpryde evo8 5.6m2, AL360 carbonboom 180-230 and Maui Ultra Fin speed02 20cm.
The only thing i switched during the days, were my Janga wetsuits.
Next time ill make sure that i bring a smaller speedsail with me, a lighter/smaller boom and different speedfins too choose from.Now my options were a bit limited. 1 board, 1sail and 1fin.
The wind was howling, between 30-50 knots. Often way too much for my 5.6m2, as most people were on a 4.9-5.3m2.
Had to put my harnesslines way up front, orelse I couldn’t hold onto my boom in a speedrun with my front hand.
Slingshots outside i found scary af, as i had a hard time too waterstart in deep water, with my weight on a speedneedle. I didnt want too crash and swim outside, so i kept it reasonably safe. As far that is possible haha
