« Previous EntriesThe real ’secret-squirrel’ sailing spot
Thursday, July 17th, 2008A year or so ago Markus Bouman and I discovered a great little secret rigging spot not far from the “Windsurfing Oostmahorn” club on the Lauwersmeer. A spot that allowed us to drive the van right up to the water (only 2-3m from the edge) and rig up in a soft patch of grass centimetres [...]
Mountain Bikes take Ameland
Monday, July 14th, 2008This week, myself and Markus Bouman caught the ferry out to the small Dutch holiday island of Ameland. On the northern side of the island, in the North Sea, there is perfect ocean Formula training conditions which will be similar to what we’ll expect at the Formula Windsurfing European Championships in Poland the week after next. We are here [...]

For the first time in over 3 years I have tasted the Australian winter as normally I’m over here enjoying the European Summer by at least April/May. Admittedly, the temperatures are much the same [...]
“The Fantastic Four” in Holland.
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007The Fantastic Four were back in action and terrorising Europe again this week; this time in Groningen, Netherlands.
