Felixstowe, just when you want it.

After being back from the Canaries I was happy to have a rest and get back to work. I have recently taken over Turfdog, the land windsurf board company, so have been trying to get my head around the paperwork and its future direction. As per usual (within a week), I was itching for my next sail. Luckily for me the wind was playing ball. The last 2 days have been Nothwesterlys, producing cross off conditions at my local spot Felixstowe. At first it was just freestyle, but later we got a few little waves. It's nice just to sail some cross off and sail my local spot. I also have some new sponsors, Chinook UK. I am really looking forward to using the new Chinook gear, as it is high performing equipment which is also really tough.

Not much wind in Pozo

Not been to much wind or waves in Pozo the last few days. I even saw the wind turbines stop moving, which is pretty much unheard of at this time of year! Hears the Photographic evidence, the turbines dont even know which way to turn! Managed a little 5.3 freestyle session today and got my first few port tack Ponches so pretty happy all the same. Looking forward to the waves coming back.

Found this pic of me riding. Have been really practising as it seems most of the guys in PWA competition get trough on good onshore rides.

Pozo is windy again.

Pozo has defiantly Kicked back in again. With this the PWA wave event has started up in Pozo with Ben Proffit knocking out Kauli in his first heat and only just being knocked out by kid Kosta. Some sick wave rinding form Ben. Even better considering the guy spent most of the winter injured, nice one. With this happening we have been sailing at Vargas for the last few days. Its nice to sail somewhere a little more side shore . Will put up some pics soon as I get out when someone's on the camera!!!

Not to Much wind in Pozo for the start of the PWA which is a shame. The surf up north looks good, however I have been greedy an brought 3 windsurf boards with me and no surf board!!! Thankfully the wind looks like its starting to pick-up tomorrow. We have also sadly been left by Adam sims, but joined by Chris Murry and a car for the next week. We are all pretty excited about exploring some of the islands less well known spots. Will keep you posted.
