I’m very happy to announce that once again I’m Belgian Champion Speedsailing. It were very tuff conditions. There were only 2 heats, the first heat was very gusty - 20 knots, I had to take the SX S (90 liters) and the TR-4 7.6m and I was only able to make a few runs, because I had to swim a long time when there was not enough wind. But after checking the video timing, it seemed that I made 2 good runs and finished on the second place.

The next day the wind was better. I took the TR 6.3m, with the best board in the World: the Missile! I didn’t have the impression that I went so fast, but I finished first !

I also managed to take the second time of the event, I was just 0,150km/h slower than my Dutch friend Ben Van der Steen, who was surfing in the international fleet. At first, I was a little bit worried about the sails because I couldn’t test them before the event. (I just had them one week before).  But the MauiSails team did a very good job ! The sails are great ! Power, acceleration and so easy to sail ! I really love them ! I’m very happy that I can already give something back to my sponsors at this early stadium of the year.

Thanks for the support!
