Vore gut om det kunde dräpa på lite i Luderitz idag, så man får se lite fight mellan AA, AB, BD & PD!
Blir intressant att hålla ögonen på Europa oxå, mega-prognos i Holland (& Tyskland)! -
Idag (och imorgon) blir det spännande. Clash of the Titans!
Så här kommenterar A2 Björns första repor:
” I watched his first run, didn’t take any risk and I would’ve done the same, but on the following runs I would’ve sheated in much more, especially with the wind at the moment”….. -
Jag ser ingen anledning att stöka runt, utan tycker dagens set-up är bra!

Jurjen verkar vara i bättre form idag:
Currently the fastest. Anders 48, AA 47.5, martin 47. Me 48.5 -
Jo då så att …
”Truth is, it is not good to crash. If you crash on the beach, a helmet is good. If you crash in water it is bad as it adds the helmet drag into the equation. But trust me, I touch wood and scratch my… and spit 3 times… I do not want to crash.” Anders Bringdal

Ska tillägga att det mesta av snacket ”After Canal” var om greken Nick´s framfart. Bara dundra in från flyget och börja sätta sjuka repor väldigt snabbt. AB jämför då med bl.a Jurjen som alla vet är snabb…. Pratar nu om 500 meters repor. Sen är ju inte Cedric och Patrik långt efter….
Nick har postat att han körde med JP Speed 41 Proto. Lite udda att lacka den i Mistral-färger:cool2:!

Som sagt …

Power, A2
Lite mindre kroppsvikt, Lena Aylin Erdil

Problemet är nog snarare att någon gett honom en ”hittepå-gps” iom att han är sponsrad av Garmin.

Standard och standard… Det är ju dom små speedseglen. Dom ska enligt uppgift vara så dyra och göras i så liten serie att de inte kan kallas standard :cool2:
I övrigt måste det vara skönt för AA att slippa ligga efter AB….
Det är nog inte så små grejor än. AB med 41:an? och 5,9? medans AA kör med 5,8 (och vad som iaf ser ut att vara evo4). Ska bli kul att se vad som händer om det börjar blåsa på riktigt, måndag verkar vara nästa ”showdown”.

Eftersom jag kan skönja ett visst misstroende för min trovärdighet så kommer här en intervju med AB från WJ:
With Björn Dunkerbeck, Antoine Albeau and Patrik Diethelm, Anders Bringdal party clearly the favorites to shatter the mythical 50 knot barrier (and even more!) At the Lüderitz Speed Challenge which starts next week in Namibia … For Windsurfjournal . com, S-10 returns to its final preparations and his vision on the spot.

”The motivation is very simple for me, speed is the discipline the purest, the most interesting and easier to follow and attempt to record more, it increases even more interest. They are also large personal feelings, it is simply awesome! And then I know the place, it increases my motivation!
On this spot and its potential last year, it’s a shame there was not more of windsurfers present this year at least it’s fixed! But when I think I’ve done a Vmax of 50.71 knots with a 5.7 m² and a board 42 cm wide, today’s big enough gear speed, with the table there and announced with all small equipment for the strong wind, I think you can see some really interesting things on the spot!
For the record kitesurfers, I think they are touchable, it is possible to approach them. The concern is that when they are in control, we windsurfers will not fast enough, it’s too easy for them. What we need are apocalyptic conditions because we control forever. When it’s really hard, kitesurfers have too much power in their wings and the wind does not catch rail more. But we’re talking about very violent wind, 60, 65, 70 knots … And even with such conditions, then you should see the water. I believe and I think we will get closer!
The presence of Antoine Albeau, Björn Dunkerbeck or Patrik Diethelm is best is really what I expected! This is the essence of the thing, tacking against the clock and against the whole world, that’s interesting, do it all alone in a corner, it has no interest! The idea last year when I went to Lüderitz was to homologate the run with the hope that better meet the present discipline behind.
Björn Dunkerbeck on which everyone knows, is very fast, his personal best is 44.70 knots, made Lüderitz in Namibia so that there was not yet the channel … last year when My first run on the channel, I 44.60 knots without the harness. It is clear that by going into the water at the outset it will explode his personal record!
Hardware side, we worked a lot on the sails with Philippe Cecchi of Diesel makes me already my fins for a while. Broadly, last year we had a former prototype and had added a large sheath starboard side so as not to have the drag on the wing. This year, we worked on three new sails on the same principle in 5.1, 5.5 and 5.9 m², we also worked on removing the fins and side plank twist, I just released a new production model Mistral 37 cm wide and I have my 41 and 47 Speed Side sails … I will double my quiver with NeilPryde sails home they’ll make me look. They will come back visibly in the race record speed and it is likely that we do things together next year. I do not even know if they are prototypes or sails set, and initially, it will be first to see just how it works and have more sails in case … ”
