Windsurfing A Way Of Life

WINDY AGAIN!!

Pretty much the same format as the last 2 days. Did some admin in the morning, chatting with the guests and then in the afternoon managed to get out for an hour or two on a Beast with a 4.7 big smiles.

Extra treat today was the very nice waves running down alongside the reef, really smooth and some quite big 3 - 4 meters.

Same forecast for tomorrow yipeee

Best wishes from Dahab and Happy Sailing

WINDY IN DAHAB AT LAST !!!!!

Well what can i say yesturday the 29th it was blowing like hell between 25 and 35 knots very windy. In the morning I had a quick sail with a guest on a Mistral Syncro 92 and an Ice 5.3 which very quickly became very overpowered as yu can imagine. Still it was nice to get that blasting feeling after poncing around just powered up on freestyle boards for the last few sessions.

In the afternoon I went out for a look at the swells on my Beast 84 with a 4.7 and this too was quite a handful I reckon it was probably 4.2 weather but you always need a bit extra to get back inside the lagoon still I had a little too much extra and it was an absolute no style session but still fun.

Today 30th of Jan sailed for a couple of hours on my Beast 84 again with a 4.7 and this was absolutly perfect today. In the gusts it was a bit big but mostly it was great. I also had an extra treat in that the swells were moving in the right direction for me to be jumping right hand forward hmmm which was great. I made quite a few nice forwards today a few table tops and had some nice rides on the big swells PERFECT and the forecast is looking the same for the next few days big smiles.

Tonight a dinner in Nesima with some of our guests, so signing off for today I’m off to meet the guys in the bar for a wel earned beer. Sorry there are no pics but been windsurfing.

Best wishes from Dahab and happy windsurfing wherever you are.

My good friend Fred at Shoreham

Thinking of friends tonight. Although technology like Skype allows us all to keep in touch its still not quite the same as sitting with a beer putting the world to rights and talking up the next great windsurfing session.

Not much in the way of windsurfing going on here lately the wind has just not been blowing, but still there are always things to be doing in a windsurfing center to prepare for busier times. The forecast for Dahab is looking good for Monday so hopefully I will have some more windsurfing based news by then.

Thanks for the pic Fred Inshallah see you early March for a beer. Best regards to Lisa and Joe. Happy days and good windsurfing.

Added a few pics for your enjoyment of Bob windsurfing in Cape Town a little while ago. Hope you enjoy them.

Keep rippin mate
