Speedsurfingblog: ’t Kuitje Den Helder Sessions
Photo by Ger, sail underdownhauled (first run) Already 2 sessions in a row and it looks like today will be the third on ’t Kuitje, it is a nice oppurtunity to test. Not only I learned about my new gear, finally I got my speed a bit better with Northeast wind. The trick is getting a lot of speed crosswind, this can be used to booost the downwind speed. My acceleration was good, only the short track makes it challenging. Next time my focus will be a bit more on crosswind speed.The first session on ’t Kuitje was not much wind, I spend most of the time on shore. In the end the wind looked like it increased and on the water the latest tuning worked out great. I think to have found for the 7.0 a nice trim in lowwind. Link to session speed
Yesterday I did the second session, this one was a bit more challenging. Since I tried again both a new board and sail. After lots of tuning and changing I was satified by doing some 70km/h+ runs, my fastest runs ever on ’t Kuitje. I feel like there is more to get and I hope to give it a shot today. The speedspecial boards are something different than all other speedboards I have owned, have to get used to how they trim. The big men did big speed. I hope to prove this year that with 83kg you also can come close to these guys on this short and tight course. I saw lightweight Jan Wolters struggling with a nice trim, normally Jan can do some damage on the Waddenzee, the wind was not superstrong soo weight does influence results. Maybe I take 2kg lead with me next time…
With the 6.2 Severne Reflex I ended fastest with downhaul on specs and loose leach till the little black line.[IMG]https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3210168910980806269-6656457964723652901?l=www.speedsurfingblog.com[/IMG]
