Some dutch guys can't seem to get enough of South-France speedspot La Franqui. Again around 10 speedsurfers will drive 1400km for a few windy speedsessions this weekend.


Wad1team is second again in GPSteamchallenge ;), last session we scored on distance 221km average was a long session. My GPS said I just did 202km and it took ages, I even saw the sun go down during my long distance session. Odometer, grrrrrrr, I did 30km to much, and the GPS made me think I did not enough for 1th place. Still windsurfing in the dark is something special, plus the wind+water gets more constant!!
There are still fast speedsurfers that do believe in polishing boards and fins. I have never had positive experience with polished parts.
Will we ever see any speedrecords actually sailed in the Netherlands??? West-Kirby, La Franqui, Vollerwiek, Sandy Point are now places too be for top-10
Gunnar Asmussen and Steffi Wahl won the Nordswell Speedsurfing Tour 2010. With many competitors and 6 heats for men + 5 heats for women. Best average speed of the event (2 runs) 35.004kn by Gunnar.
Just found this thread with additional pics of the nude streakers and an interesting statement by Chris Lockwood about his new boards.
