Windsurfing A Way Of Life

Sadly I haven’t much time to sit and write a lot about Morocco, but I can tell you that its a place that I felt very at home in. Friendly open minded people still in touch with their roots. Amazing Atlantic coastline offering fantastic year round surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing. Can’t wait to get back there in the summer !!!!

You can view a selection of the pics I took from a trip to a local market, oasis and windsurfing session in Moulay (Fab wave spot cross off from the right) HERE!.

Big thanks to Club Mistral for the invitation to the meeting there and also a huge thanks to Marie and Seb from Ocean Vagabond for their hospitality. I’ll post up some pictures of the Ocean Vagabond Hotel when I get back to Dahab.

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.

Best Wishes and Happy Windsurfing.
