Now I stand 12th place (maybe lower), I focused a bit higher for this year. But my week can't be ruined, both tuesday (16 june) & thursday (18 june) I had a presentation &defence of my final project for my study Civil Enginering. I really prepared myself. And it payed off bigtime!! I scored overall 8 out of 10 points!!!
On the water I know what to improve and that is a very positive thing. The gear was fast enough, in my opinion these things went wrong with me:
- First time with 6.2 RSR E1 in lowwind, almost the whole competition I doubted about the downhaul setting... however I didn't dared to adjust @ that moment
- After my 67.x kmh 10 sec run I went for my Carbon Art Speed 44, thanks to that I had to walk for quite some time. Also in the end I walked the falcon speed around :)
- I didn't felt sharp, my reaction to gusts was below normal... Even my best runs I was crappy in building up my runs.
And next time better!

It was a really nice day! For me personally the whole day was a big hurry-moment: getting up really early, loading the car, driving to work, working 4 hours, driving 200km to Horst, fast rigging up,... So I just enjoyed being on the water with so many surfers on a normal friday-afternoon!
It was hard for everyone, but in the end the top guys are again on top! Really impressive that they are always sharp and ready, when it's needed!
It was a good learning day for hopefully a high-wind USM next time!
I think everybody is looking out for a highwind USM session!
