freeSTYLE 16 cm
Black Project Fins team rider Thijs Westbroek has been trying out the new 16cm FreeSTYLE Single Proto in the Netherlands these past few days and he just sent us some pics and comments which I am sure will be interesting to all those who love to twist and slide. Over to Thijs;
“The last 2 days I have tested it to the limit!! Yesterday the wind was blasting 35-40 knots at Strand Horst. It was full power 4.1! A lot of GPS speed surfers where going 80+ km!! It was really cool to see these guys going so fast.
Today I had a good session with my 4.9 fully powered.
The fin is amazing!!
It has a lot of speed!!! It is sliding really good. Double moves are really easy, like double or triple flaka and double esliders. It has good grip for the carving part for shaka’s and ponch’s too.
Compared to my old fins, it has a higher top end speed and slides easier. With 4.9 the fin still has a really good upwind performance with the same grip as my old 18 cm. That is something really good because now I’m able to use a smaller fin then I used to!
Tomorrow here we will have 20 knots, so I hope to have some feedback about how the fin works in normal powered conditions and some pumping. Not long now to the first event of the season.

lauwersmeer
not very windy at the moment in holland,
in the autumn vacation I have been a week at the lauwersoog with a good friend of mine.
we had a lot of wind in that week!! sailing 4.1 firefly most of the time.
the spot is quit cool there, the wind was blowing offshore there so the water was really flat. it is also a well known speed spot! for the freestylers if you want to go switch speed surfing this is the spot!!!
so now waiting for some wind!
