Hadi and the V8 supertruck team (floating entertainment)

We had a few latecomers and a lost member so we started a bit later than desired. Everyone was fresh though and we worked together to complete the deflation and briefing in good order.

The drive started easy with a few straight crests to warm up and there were a couple of 2nd tries. we then made our way onto the smooth sand area and started our sailing around the flowing dunes. after a good break with delicious watermelon from Hadi the lead was handed over to Tim and he took us on some smooth cruising before working our way into the technical dunes. Everyone did well and followed the instructions of Osama well as he guided everyone through the challenging sections from high up on the crests. With the sun getting high and the temperatures rising we made for the exit and reached the tarmac on time.

Everyone did really well with communication and control on their car and thanks to Tomasz and Sven for frequent updates.
Big thanks to Osama for the tireless support and big Kudos to Tim for taking the lead and managing the convoy well.

Hope to see you all soon.
