Strand Horst action!

05 February 2011

Author: Erik Loots

While I was working today getting my car good enough to get road-legal again the wind was strong. Strand Horst turned out to be really fast... some rumors:

89km/h topspeed & few 84km/h runs for Dirk Jan Knol
Martin van Meurs in hospital
MANY 80+++km/h peaks from different surfers

Waterlevel was -60cm at deepest. This is crazy, almost kitesurfing style. Even when I wanted to go there is no 20cm fin available yet from Sonntag Fins, should receive a proto soon (quick postservice).

Also congrats for Gerlof Hansma, claiming the Lauwersmeer spotrecord!!

Keep an eye op Gps-speedsurfing.com next 24 hours!
