A new website is in the air!

Recently I have been building a (new) website that should gradually replace this blog. So from now all the updates, reports, pictures and video's will be posted at:

Just finished the YK3!

Last weekend I went into the dunes near Haarlem to try out my new home made tent, the YK3. Some details still need attention, but all in all I am quite satisfied with the result. The tent can be used for two persons and weighs 1400 grams. For more pictures see the 'home made gear' section. 

Mountainbike video

You will find a new HD video at youtube, shot during a mountainbike trip near Schoorl, the Netherlands. I used to live there about 15 years ago. A few years later the 'mountainbike route' was official but I never tried it. So this is the first time, although I was familiar with many parts of the route.

Kitesurfing at the Dutch coast

I just youtubed some fresh footage of a downwind kitesurfing trip from Zandvoort to Bloemendaal! Ok ok, not so radical for big swell minded surfers, but I smell great opportunities...
