Again to much wind in La Franqui, i think this must be the most windiest place on earth. We measured again 69 knots and i enjoyed for at least one full hour this spectacle from the wooden pier. We drove again to Gruissan to escape this wind, after this session and the one in december we really can say this became a shitty place for speedsurfing and i hope they will not organize the belgium speed week here but in Port La Nouvelle. Anyway a nice day of windsurfing in the sun with perfect temperature but low speeds considering the wind strenght. We decided not to go back to Holland as tomorrow can be a perfect day in La Franqui, hopefully the wind will not exceed the 55 knots. Maybe we let go a record session on the Brace, but i (and Hans Kleingeld) strongly think the angle will be to WZW. But if not, good luck for the guys who will take the risk to walk there and risk a lost a day of windsurfing or braking records.......

Was a bit late on the water because i didn't really want to go had only one nice gust. I will never go to this shitty place again halfwind bullshit has nothing to do with speed. La Franqui was 70knots wind but now i'll never leave there because the wind will drop in the afternoon same as last time. not really happy at the moment hope tomorrow will be better
