Speedsurfingblog: Jurjen van den Noord performance
No doubt, Jurjen van den Noord is the biggest thing in dutch (GPS) speedsurfing since I started using a GPS on my windsurfer. Almost no one saw this comming a couple of years ago, I remember the days where I often was about as fast as Jurjen. Later we became teammates with Starboard / Severne. Last year the performance increased like mad and nobody could exactly point out why?
The best fact is Jurjen is just a normal man with a good job, you would not know he is this crazy fast speedsurfer when talking with his humble personality. His professional approach for chasing records is unique and will be example for many future (GPS speedsurfing) record hunters. There was a lot of positive and negative buzz in the (dutch) speedscene about this performance in Luderitz, Jurjen is the first GPS Speedsurfer who pulled this off, and it is not easy to:
- Get the trip financed with sponsors (yes, for record hunting a good campaign is needed to get enough support!)
- Be fit at the right moment
- Keep at ease and being able to show your best or even grow during the event
- Having the right equipment and knowing how to adapt settings to ”never known unique conditions”. His custom made before was used and worked!! No testing or several proto’s possible, it worked, thats engineering on high level!
Jurjen thank you for showing us ”how it is done like a professional”! You are an true inspiration, you even managed to get me excited for records (thought that was not possible for me anymore)
On the water Jurjen is serious fast, see here how fast: http://www.gps-speedsurfing.com/?mnu=user&val=111113&uid=1438
