Speedsurfingblog: Inspired ==> Windsurf Crossings
A few years ago (2010-2011), when speedsurfingblog was full speed (and me too on the water) I was always into a long distance session. Crossing afsluitdijk, or other crossings. My current surfspot is the area between Amsterdam Zeeburg – Muiderberg – Almere – Uitdam. I have researching the internet and found Arnoud the Rosnay, pretty cool stuff!!
I haven’t made an gps-crossing account yet, also I currently don’t use/have a GPS. However I enjoy planning a crossing, preparing equipment and myself for such a crossing. When I windsurf it is about making a journey, instead of focus on 2 or 10 seconds. I like the idea of connecting and crossing two locations just by the wind.
I changed equipment to fit crossings (read more safety):
– Changed to sails on RDM masts (I have now a Loft Blade), a broken mast when 10km from shore is dangerous
– Fins have been made less sharp. Latest session this year I managed to cut myself on my fin. I was 15 minutes sailing from the beach. That was an event that made me aware a less sharp fin and tougher wetsuit would be more safe
– less weight is easier over distanve
– small emergency kit
– flare
-knive- screwdrive
-spare fin (small widebase?)
– some fresh waterMuch more to come and explore about crossings.. It is a new thing and we windsurfers shoudl explore which equipment and combinations would be best for crossings.
When the equipment is perfect I will try to do the longest distance over Markermeer from Zeeburg.[IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA[/IMG] [IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y[/IMG] [IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?i=NWOWNTCdft4:RHgTuHwdID8:F7zBnMyn0Lo[/IMG] [IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?i=NWOWNTCdft4:RHgTuHwdID8:V_sGLiPBpWU[/IMG] [IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?d=qj6IDK7rITs[/IMG] [IMG]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/SpeedsurfingBlog?i=NWOWNTCdft4:RHgTuHwdID8:1ZLn2ZRv8yg[/IMG]
