Yesterday, me and two others enjoyed our last kite boarding session of the year at Wijk aan Zee in the Netherlands. The water was cold, but just as earlier this month, we dressed up like Ninjas and off we went. Also, we went to the sea this time, as the lakes in Holland are exceptionally cold right now, after a little cold spell earlier two weeks ago. The surface water is probably not more than 2 or 3 degrees right now in the lakes, whereas the sea still is about 8 or 9 degrees I believe.

It wasn’t much of a session, as the winds quickly dropped to levels where I could not get decent enough speed anymore with my 12sqm. I forgot to bring my 16.5sqm (stupid!!!). The other two guys did bring their bigger kites, but then again, jumping and decently going up-wind was pretty much impossible for them too…

At least I got to shoot some soul-session like pictures…

Now for a quick bite and off to my friends to celebrate New Year’s.
