Windsurfing A Way Of Life

Well its been quiet so far during February so the team at Club Mistral Mauritius has been fully clearing, renovating, re organising and painting the centre ready for the new season. In the next few days all will be finished and we look forward to seeing you here for some fun on the water be it kite, windsurfing or surfing.

Best regards and happy windsurfing.

Yesturday the weather turned very cloudy and dark. We managed to get a surf session in later in the day which was great. Svetlana came with us for her first tries and had a baptism of fire as Ninja, Baba, Alexis, Sandro and myself went to Plat en Rouge (not ideal for beginners). Anyway Svetlana caught her first wave there and managed to stand up maximum respect. The place we went to is a reef break, very shallow and the wave becomes very steep very quickly so to be taken there for your first time is pretty hard core.

The boat engineers came yesturday and put back the engines that they took up to the workshop for a big service which is great.

The weather also changed yesturday it went from being very humid to cloudy with rain showers and on inspection we discovered that there are a couple of cyclones near to us. So for now we wait to see what is going to happen and how close they will actually get.

Thats it for now, today is my free day along with Alexis and Johnny so we will see what the weather brings us. Right now a strong N wind is blowing so i think we will be able to get out on the water today somewhere.

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing best wishes and enjoy the day.

Just a quick report on the days activities. Went for a quick sail in the morning played around a bit infront of the centre on a Mistral Wave RD 86 with a 5.3, Little reef was quite good for jumping hich kept me a mused for half an hour then i went up to Manawa for half an hour. Manawa was nice around 2 to 2.5 meters nothing super huge but it was very glassy and a lot of fun. Svetlana also went out infront of the centre on a Mistral Style RD 84 with a 4.7 Duke. Svetlana stayed infront of the centre training some jumping, duck jibes etc.

In the afternoon Sveta went Kite Surfing again with GREAT SUCCESS !! managed to get up and riding in both directions for a few meters, which is great considering that 3 days ago she had never flown a kite before.

I went for a another little session later in the day when the guests were all tired but stayed in little reef. There were some good sets sometimes but with teh high tide it was a bit choppy, still good training and mostr important of all good fun!

Lets see what the next day brings us.

So best wishes to everyone, happy windsurfing, kite surfing and surfing.

More soon I hope with some pics but my camera is not playing at the moment.
