The weather at the day looked great, although very windy, and there were waves in the 2 meter range. A fantstic day for the meeting i would say :)
i decided to put my eco-surf principles to work and loaded up the cargo bicycle with boards, fruits, juices and all that and roll the 30 kilometres to the meeting. I was unfortunate with the wind, wich ws head on all the way, and that got a little energy consuming in the end.
I made it though, and quite a few shapers and interested people showed up, same as the waves and everybody had a great day! I managed to catch a big wave on my new laaaaaaaaaarge skull paipo at the outer sandbar before my legs gave up so that was nice too. It can be done :D
here are some pictures of the day:

Paul Jensen (left), of wooden surfboards and swaylocks fame, was in Holland to give workshops and he dropped by to check out the meeting. Nicest guy you'll ever meet!
