Domburg vacation

It is a real real real shame on me that it took so long. But here is the first photo :)

The others are coming soon, including a more travel like story with it.

Blancs Sablons - France

We are thinking about going to Blancs Sablons @ France.




Judging from the pictures it can get pretty epic !!

We'll see how it will be.. it looks pretty fine, but it's well over max. distance of 600km

Last minute weekend

Yesterday went for bike ride with Gino and somehow we decided to go on a 4 day windsurfing trip next week. We don't have a location yet, but it should be somewhere @ mid/north France or north Netherlands. Reason is fairly simple, we can't drive much further otherwise we don't have any surfing time left. But we want some wind or @ least wave security so that we can either windsurf or golf surf.

So if anyone has suggestions, please share it :) Very mucho thanx !! You're always welcome to come along also.. i've heard that Jelle C. is interested to :)

First BK Freewave this year

The First BK Freewave (Belgium Championship) was great, although a bit more wind would have been nice. We could finish in total 5 heats (one was canceled), enough to get results for the Kids and Masters.

First i want to say thanx to all the sponsors and Patrick Rooze for organizing everything.

Results C-power BK Freewave Surfers Paradise:
Kids:
1: Robin Van Hoof
2: Yentel Caers
3: Liesbeth Janssen
4: Janssens Robin

Masters:
1: Luc Caers
2: Dirk Van Der Eycken
3: Patrick Rooze
4: Luc Van de Ven

I enjoyed especially watching the masters. It was a very close call between Luc C & Dirk for first and second places, but in the end the overall impression and effort made us decide that Luc C deserved it.

The Young Guns and Open Categories were also fun, but you could see that a bit more wind would have been nice. In normal conditions we know some of the guys do Spocks and Chachoo like nothing but now it was hardly a good AirJibe and lots of low wind sail tricks.. perhaps the pressure (although i seriously doubt that).

During practice and warm up sessions we could see some beautiful actions from Steven Van Broeckhoven, Dieter Van der Eycken and so on... I've been filming a bit and i caught some action :) When i'm done editing you'll be the first to know :)

During the weekend we could all test boards from ADH and F2.

In the evening there was a real, real nice barbecue :) I must tell, i really had eaten to much. Afterwards there was free beer and that was enough to get the party going :) I must say, i really love the way how riders get along here. There's nothing, not a tiny bit of rivalry present. Everybody cheers for everybody and even you do the most easy move like a helicopter tack they shout like if you were doing a pushloop into forward. Just a great feeling to experience!!

Then i had to go @ home because of the lack of wind, there wouldn't be any heats for me to judge and i had to go to a christening of the first child from my sister in law. But i heard afterwards that it was a great, sunny day and they did a volleyball game instead.

Here are a few more pictures. Our warm watch point.. the judges car :)

Price giving for the Kids:

Mighty high Yentel Caers overlooking the scene :)
