Well after a slow start to the day the wind kicked in, the guests started arriving and service resumed as normal.It wasn’t so sunny today hence the bad light in the pics but still it was another great day in paradise. We did some general checking of equipmnent, sail trimming and so on while there was no wind and then after the guests were all sorted and out on the water some of the team who either had a day off or have now started their annual holiday went out on the water so I asked Matrix if he would kindly drive me out to Manawa with my camera and the video to get some footage.

The waves in Manawa were very nice again today around 1.5 to 2.5 meters in some sets, good wind direction and well perfect for a fun session. Ninja, Baba, Johnny and Alexis were out along with an Italian guest who had to turn in early due to a washing that left his sail in bits. Lots of riding going on, Alexis was really going for it as you can see from the pic of the day for today.

Alexis also landed his first front loop today in a short session in Little Reef on the way back from Manawa. Maximum respect mate nice one!

Best regards to all and happy wind and kite surfing.

Best regards and happy windsurfing.

Lovely day today, very productive morning preparing some new things for the centre then during the afternoon Ninja, Baba, Johnny and myself headed out to Manawa for a little session. The wind was a little bit onshore so Manawa seemed a much better bet than heading off downwind to One Eye which was not so big today and breaking very very close to the reef.

After the usual slog upwind to the break we arrived to find it working very well. Waves between 1.5 - 3.5 meters very smooth and a real treat as its generally low season here so we were the only people there. Very regular sets rolling in and plenty of waves for everyone. The only thing wrong with my session was my technique hehehe I seem to have a habit of bending my front arm instead of straightening it! oh well practice practice practice.

The wind was pretty constant outside and the Duke 5.4 I had plus the new Mistral Wave Rd 86 were just perfect.

Thats it for today take care everyone best wishes and happy sailing.

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.
