Thanks a lot for your extended answer Ian
,
It's right that due to my emphases towards speed, but may be more important the very good speeding conditions at my home spot (Beach Horst in the Netherlands) I don't worry about windlulls and deep water. When the wind is too little and the board can't float we simple look around for gusts and stay in knee deep water. This makes speedsurfing very relaxing at times. We don't have to care to be forced to swimming in deep water
when wind has gone (unless you go far out in2 mtr deep water which can happen sometimes after an enthousiastic speedrun
)!.
