Here you can find some nice photo's of 6-June. A day with limited wind. I hope when I finished all stuff @ school I can think clearly again. Yesterday it was about the 3th times I got everything right just too late.

I feel I just can't enjoy those perfect flat water with almost no wind days. Maybe I am just to sticky on the water, don't know exactly why... I hope someday I don't have to worry about things I shouldn't even been thinking about.
Let's finish school, high priority, I feel a bit stressed because of all of those little things that always come up in the end. 18 June I will have the final presentation, tommorow I will hand over my final project report to school.
After have finished school I will have a Decision-DAY, what to do, working/windsurfing or some combination??? From financial side I leaning towards working. Also concerning speedsurfing I think with my experience/support, windsurfing won't work out, real sponsorships will come with really good results. Really good results come with good preparation, support, gear... But for me the most important is to keep my focus just on sailing, I know in 2007 this was easy and my results showed.
2008 and this year I know I worry way to much about my gear, don't break it, new gear, tuning, oh I have to sell it before... When will my new sail arrive, what would it cost? etc. But also stuff that happened in my family kept me off track.
The most stupid fact is that I often forget how important it is to be able to focus on sailing. Every half year I get a reality check and come this conclusion. Maybe it has to do with becoming an adult, maybe I should close myself from others with problems, maybe I am just a good sailor and should not even think about anything other. Maybe I am @ this moment not capable of growing in speedsurfing.
Something got to change... The way it is going right now is NOT good for my mood.

Hi Erik,
just keep up the good work and that day will come when everything comes together (and others will see)!
I enjoy reading your blog with very interesting and sometimes surprising articles, for me it is very motivating to see how focussed on speedsurfing you are.
So relax, keep doing what you are doing, and enjoy every session on the water.
See you on the water,
Mark
Thank you Mark!
Erik,
It is perfectly normal you are stressed now, and that is how it should be when you're finishing school.
Don't mind, things will be much easier afterwards. Focus now on graduating, that's much more important than speeding now.
In some weeks from now you'll find balance again and will enjoy surfing again.
Good luck with school.
Patrick
Thanks Patrick
