Buzz's Day Off Today
Well not much to report on today. I woke up this morning poured some very nice vanilla flavor coffee then sat down and did some work on a few new pages for Windhut.
Around lunchtime I checked the Club Mistral Mauritius webcam saw there was a bit of wind and a few of our guests were out on the water so called a taxi and hot footed it down there.
There was not so much wind so I decided to try the new Mistral 2008 SL RD 95 out with a Natural 6.6. It all seemed to work find and I blasted out through the channel to cruise around a a little bit. First time I have taken any slalom kit since I left Dahab but it was all good appart from the fact that I was not jibing it well pffft this is the problem when you start using wave boards and the like, needs a little bit of time to get used to a slalom board again but all the problems I encountered were my own fault, the board was great fun to ride and I am looking forward to trying it with a 5.5 or 6.0 I think this will be a lot of fun.
After my blast around on the slalom kit I went back to the centre and decided to have another go at kite surfing. So i had a drink of (water) hehe took a Rebel 10 and a twin tip and off I went . Today i got on much better than yesturday and actually managed to leave the beach, sail around for an hour and come back to the same place. Its only the 6th session for me but now I can ride, go up wind and make small jumps (even if i do land toe side sometimes and get a good washing). I cant say kites surfing will draw me away from windsurfing but when the wind is not so strong for me as a windsurfer its a great alternative. Its also good to be a student again hehe.
Anyways no pics from today spent my time sailing and not with the cam sorry for that hehe but i have included a couple of scenery shots i took before.
Best regards to all and happy wind and kite surfing.
