Speedsurfingblog: Uitdam – Pampus attempt 1
I tried to go to Pampus from Uitdam, it is actually a short route, check the video and story:
Story
I arrived at the beach and it was beautiful (dutch) weather, actually the first time for me on this spot. According to windfinder is should be Northwest direction and 15kn-20kn. On the water the wind was between 9-18kn, pretty good to sail. From start it was a bit broader than crosswind, PERFECT! I had one tiny weedproblem, however nothing big (this spot has not much weed).I aimed for Pampus and about halfway I realized this was not the right angle anymore. At the start it seemed to be easy to reach, halfway and in the end the winddirection was not good. At one point I decided it was ok and I went back. At that point of time I realized I just did 6.5km downwind sailing… Going back the same path was just possible, in windgaps I lost course and in the gust I got back on course a bit.
Again halfway I had a new challenge. My front footstrap let go… Going upwind over the chop and me forcing my frontfoot to let the board ride at high angle was to much. I learned here that checking footstraps is a good thing to do (another one for the checklist). Surfing on my backfoot I made it back and I was very excited, eventhough the speed was not really high and I didn’t even make it to Pampus. However I learned a lot of new stuff and next time I will make it (faster) :).
My equipment
For this session I took: a watertight bag, jobe floating vest, harnass, spare fin and screws, swiss knive multifunctional, spare harnassline, water, first aid kit and windsurfstuff.A screwdriver for footstraps will be added to the standard list 😉
