Today in Dahab 13-02-2007
Not so much wind today but we all still managed to have some fun.
There was just enough wind to get a few lessons done this morning for beginners, harness one and kids.
The rest of the day was spent catching up on a few things around the centre. The guys rigged some more new North XTYPE sails 6.6 7.3 7.8 and 8.2 which we are getting great feedback on.
I went for a paddle around on an Ntrance with Ahmed and Reda, we are getting into the whole paddleboard concept Dahab style and a small Back Gammon Tournament kicked off in the chillout with some very competitive play taking place ending in a 3 - 3 draw between Ray and Svetlana.
I was donated some Hungarian shnaps yum which I have put in the fridge for tomorrow evening as its Olgas birthday.

Windsurfing Video from Club Mistral Dahab 10-02-2007
Available for download the 23 minute video clinic filmed with our guests 10-02-2007 its in wmv format and at 640x480 resolution so its quite big. Probably one to download overnight.
There are some good crashes and me showing that I really can’t do much with the wind from the left hehe. It was quite windy around force 6 but very gusty with a strange wind shadow infront of the platforms.
Maximum respect to all guests who sailed on it, hope you had a good time with us here in Dahab hope to see you all again very soon.
Enjoy..

Windsurfing Dahab 05-02-2007
Well today was very strange. No wind this morning and not really any wind forecast until tomorrow so none of us were expecting to get out on the water. As you can see it didn’t stay like this all day with a force 4 South wind blowing in.
South wind always sends everyon crazy here as it always feels stronger than it actually is, but as you can see it did create quite a nice shore break. Hmmm just like being at home on thge South Coast.
After a quick sail with a Mistral Syncro 115 and a Duke 6.9 (Which i was quite pleased to almost land a loop with hehe) I had some lunch and then took out a Duke 6.4 and a “Mistral Syncro 102. Both the Syncro were great fun I absolutly love all them the 92, 102and 115. They are all fast and easy to Gybe and plane early they are GREAT!!!
Other happenings today. It seemed that someone had stolen Svetlanas bike so a whole saga unfolded which invloved a trip to the Tourist Police with pictures etc. After much unhappiness Said had a call from the Police to say they had found the bike dumped in the bus station so we can only assume it was kids mucking about with it. Still it was quite a shock to find something missing the crime rate here is almost zero.
Thats about it for today. This evening we enjoyed some curry thanks to Simon from Planet Windsurf who was kind enough to bring us over some Pataks Curry Sauce…big thumbs up Simon thanks for those.
Take care everyone and happy windsurfing
