Weather forecasts...

It's strange how far off the predictions sometimes are. Drove to the French coast today because 4 Bft from the west was predicted, but only felt like 1-2 Bft once we got there. We even got light winds from the east on a sunlit west-facing coastline...

Paid a visit to Cap Blanc Nez on the way home and had a nice view:

I'm definitely going to fly there some day. NW-NNW winds are ideal for the spot. Definitely the largest "mountain face" in my region :-)

World Ranking

I've become 2nd Belgian in the world ranking ;-)

It's official

I will be participating in this year's European Championship as member of the Belgian Team :-)

Let's fly better than ever before...

Kurt on the Spyder

Yesterday I flew with Jo and Kurt. And while browsing my hard disk yesterday evening, I found some video material of Kurt's first flight with the Spyder. So I thought I'd put it online ;-)

First flight in 2010

I had a real nice flight at Zoutelande today. Sadly no movie (don't know why, but the GoPro didn't cooperate). Here's a picture taken after landing and the wide angle view is wider than expected, I wasn't supposed to be on the pic ;-)

Winter flight in Belgium

Here's a short video of a winter flight in December. This is along the north-faced ridge of Beauraing. The wind was strong enough, but cross (45 degrees and more). After only 15 minutes, the wind was so cross that I had to land.

Tenax 3

It's winter. It takes much too long. Loads of beautiful pictures posted by the pilots flying in Australia. Not even a few soarable days in Belgium...

But the good news is that the new harness has been ordered and that the current one has been sold. So I'm waiting for this baby, a Woody Valley Tenax 3:
