I think it costs to much for the "product" that is delivered. And their is a high risk of damage by some dummy T-boning you in the surf on the start-line. Currently I don't have any money to spend on repairs.

But also Texel gave me a really bad taste in my mouth last time I was there. I had payed several hunderd bucks to be there including some 150 bucks for the entry fee. But when we arrived with out car to make use of our "reserved" parking slot we were told that the invited guests of the sponsor had used up all parking, so we had to double back a few km and park our gear (with the sailing gear) a long waaaaaaay from our boat. We had to walk in our sailing gear to our boat for roughly 30 minutes. I'm never doing that again and this translated in actually never doing Texel ever since then.

I think Texel had gotten to commerical (maybe have changed back since then, but I wouldn't know as I haven't been there since)
