This is how speedsurfingblog and sportzeker found each other:
In 2009 I decided to insure my windsurfing gear for the first time. I always thought insure wouldn't help me futher with windsurfing, eventhough I broke a few things and also a complete windsurfing quiver was stolen from me in 2006. My reason to choose not to insure is simple, the insurance company can't live of the wind...
But Sportzeker.nl offered for € 84,50 per year a windsurfing equipment insurance, this was not much money sooo I filled in the form on the website and I was insured.
It took about a few weeks before I changed, a totally different way of thinking. I am thinking a lot before entering the water for a speedsurfing session. After a few sessions I realised with my gear insured I could try some new stuff, without great financial risks which would ruin all my plans etc.
The moment I realised my windsurfing gear to be insured my speed went up in stronger/difficult conditions. Even at one point (when the conditions were really impressive) I felt like to be able to really battle with Dutch Champ Peter de Wit. This was a first!!!
But ofcourse I tried to go even further (faster than the fastest) and this costed me 1 sail and 1 boom. Which thanks to sportzeker.nl are replaced by new ones. I contacted Mark (team sportzeker), told my story and after a good conversation we concluded to help each other further. I was really willing to share this story and Mark was willing to support me for 2010. This will double my chances getting better results for 2010!
Nice work this partnership! All your hard work in this website is finally starting to pay back...
