Amstelmeer Nautical Mile WAR!!!


Not even 1/2 Month my Amstelmeer Nautical Mile was good enough to lead the ranking... Peter de Wit declared 13-September-2009 a Nautical Mile WAR, just 0,4 kmh faster. He was also complaining about the low entry and end speed of the Nautical Mile... hehe (this is were my lightweight is becoming usefull)

Actually very intresting because I believe bodyweight isn't involved in this competition, my downwind angle is a bit deeper in gusts, topspeed might be a bit lower. However in windgaps+ chop+waves my bodyweight isn't disturbing the boardtrim as fast as the heavier guys.

Soon another Sonntag Fins SL-S 320 will arrive, this one will be more highspeed focussed on long distance. I am almost 100% sure 60kmh will be broken in the first LONG windgust. WATCH OUT Peter ;)

    Well, if lightweights are just as fast as heavyweights on the nautical... Bring it on!
    53 on the Gouwzee wasn't much of a problem. But 60 is a completely different story. I'll try my best.
