Wijk aan Zee: 9 April 2012

The first winterstorm of the year

On a cold december morning in Holland

Only Witchcraft allowed

A perfect summer eveningsession

Testing the Hotsails Maui FireLight Prototype

Summer 2011: Testing the ultra light FireLight Prototype at Zandvoort.

This was one of the first FireLights. The difference with the production of nowadays is that the proto has got a bigger clew and shorter mast and this sail has got more power than the productions. Btw.... it weighs only 3 kg for a 5.3. The productions are even lighter.

Fuerte trip

After a cold and long winter in Holland we dicided to go for a 10 days trip to Fuerteventura.
Bouke (Witchcraft) told me earlier that Fuerte is the place to be for the winterperiod.
It's a 4 hours fly, lot's of spots in a 30 min drive, side off wind and plentyof spots to surf when the wind is off.

He was right! Fuerte is the bomb!!

4 days in a row

It seems like the coldest part of the winter is over. February starts with a stormy south wester and 10 degrees. Three days with 3.8 and one day with 4.3. The first day i was on the water with a 68 L SOS Fish and the other three days i took the 83 L Witchcraft tri-fin. Damn.... this board rocks.... even in stormy conditions it's easy to handle!

16-10-2010: Cold day at Texel

Morocco trip

In the summertime the Morocci coast is next to POZO the place to be because ofhis highwinds. The plan was to stay there for 10 days and have a maximum surf.

Next to the great surf,Morocco hase a lot more......... Yes.... culture!!

We arrived the 22th of July at Marracesh. The evening we spend at the big plaza where you good eat with the local population.

Marracesh is famous about his small alley's and picturesque hotels.

The day after we arrived we drove to the coast. It was a three hours drive true the dessert where we past primitive villages of the Shepherds.

The destanation was Essaouira. It's a fishing-village whit a big history. After a big lunch at the beach we notice that the wind is pikking up...so

we drove to the spot called Moulay Bouzerktoun. It's the homespot of Boujmaa and it's a very small pour village.

The wind was good for a 4.3 Smack and Witchcraft 77 L. The waves where not that high but enough for a lot of fun!

After a hour of good windsurf, Axel dicide to take some pictures. We switched after 30 min and Axel went out.... The first wave he takes was immediately the final wave of the trip. The result was a dislocated arm. Damn....

After a 4 hours stay in the local filthy hospital the arm was back on his place but for Axel it was done!
The forecast for the rest of the trip was also bad. We only had one day to look out for and then the wind switched off after a three weeks blowing.
Fortunately there were some small waves and we had some surfsessions at Sidi Kaouki.

After some small surfing and site seeing we decided to go home. Axel his arm was hurting like mad and the conditions looks #@%#$

Better luck next year!
