Tough session. The wind was not that strong, but the chop was tricky. After a while I switched to the FF89 to get rid of my 5th 69 run. The FF89 did fine! 73 max and run 70,21. But then Manfred injured his arm. Thanks Angelo for bringing him to the doctor!

After that Paul and I continued and Paul got fined by the police for trespassing in the nature area. Bad luck again. In my last run I broke my bottom batten. Small bad luck compared to the others.

Mission accomplished: season record for Makkum improved. But only by 0,02! Sorry Manfred.

A day with a story. Started early at 9.15h because I had to go into a conference call from 10:15 - 12.30. Luc and Manfred were also present. Made one of the 5 runs with the missile xs in this first hour. After the meeting I went out on the water again. Luc offerd me his Falcon 51 (thanks Luc) since he was going to try his  Faclon 89.  

Then Manfred had a crash and dislocated his shoulder. We helped him ashore and Angelo brought him to the doctor. Heard later that nothing was broken, so let's hope Manfred is out on the water soon.

I made some good runs with the Falcon 51 afterwards, although the conditions were very challenging with the deep water and the big chop. Also the wind was turing to NW. Then I had a visit from the local water police (Natuurbeheer) who caught me in the forbidden zone. That's going to be an expensive one :(

Luc went ashore after he had a crash and broke his lower batten, wo we all had damage today. Went ashore to get my missile XS again because the wind was increasing. After I got back on the water I met with Marco. I told him that the water was realy deep today. But after I told him this I discovered that someone let all of the water out of the IJsselmeer and it was much more shallow. Sorry Marco for the wrong info. 

The wind decreased very rapidly so called it a day.

Thanks for the hospitality to Wessel and his family for being able to rig at Douma staete.

Nice session at Lauwersmeer. Tuning up my bran new W54 2013. Great board. Speeds can  be much higher but have to find the right stance to let the board go flying..Good board advice Johan !!

Pechdagje. Het liep niet geweldig, kwam niet lekker over de chop heen met de Nomad en de snelheden bleven wat achter. Windje was ook niet helemaal zoals de verwachtingen ons beloofd hadden.

Na een kleine rustpauze en een babbeltje gingen we het water weer op. Helaas ging het toen mis. Ik wilde een vlaag in slingshotten waarbij ik in een heftige spinout kwam, lijrails hapte water en voorover met het hele spul. Met de schouder op de mast geklapt en voelde vrijwel direct dat het niet helemaal goed zat. Nadat Luc en Paul mij en mijn spullen aan land hebben geholpen samen met Angelo naar de huisartsenpost. Een gescheurde deltoideus (spier in de schouder) was het resultaat.

Allemaal bedankt voor de hulp, en Luc gefeliciteerd met de ENORME ;) verbetering van de snelste seizoenstijd voor de Funsport Makkum Challenge! Knap gevaren vandaag!

Hopelijk kan ik snel weer het water op!
