Windsurfing A Way Of Life

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.

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.
