Last week ended on a great note. few days of 15Knots plus - Tara and Waddy from the UK enjoyed the windsurfing. Tara was last here 4 years ago, her windsurfing has improved and it was nice to finally meet her husband. Dans family are now well and truely hooked on kitesurfing, the bow kites make everything so much easier, I dont know how we used to do it on those big C’s- I think they may all come down on one of our kitesurfaris next year.
Corina from Switzerland is back staying in their favourite room at the Sunbreeze.
Its a holiday here tomorrow for Junior is working and I’m having the morning off, hurray. Teaching a couple of local kids to kite in the afternoon.
Island kayak race at the weekend. 30 miles on the first day then 16miles on the second. The first day is up through the lagoons and mangrove creeks on the western side of the island all the way to the Mexican border, then down� and across to Robles. 29 teams started. 21 teams, including all the womens teams finished the first day even though they paddled for upto 12hrs. Josh from Seaside reality finished 6th on the first day and 7th on the second day - time wise 6th overall. thanks to elito and Seduced for organising it. Hands and arms are still suffering a bit. Josh and I have decided to retire from it this year after competing for the last three years - we were the oldest to finish this year, and as the competition gets stronger we are only going to have to train harder and harder. Have already promised Elito we will help organise
Wind wise - not pretty the last week or so. teasing us with blowing at night and then dropping to 10-12kn. Forecast was for 15-22kn all this week but hasnt happened as yet except at night.
lots of kiters and windsurfers in - Dan and his family are back. managed to get them out late in the afternoons for some kiting lessons.
Noah and Sammy (the dog) are both improving their windsurfing skills. we all went out on a start and 2.6 the other day. Hot Sails Maui are sending me a 0.8m sail to get the boy started.
Cobble stones in the town are coming along nicely. At first we were worried how it would look but actually looks really good. they are already starting on the southern road. Barges have also moved from the Town square, pity the food stands were knocked down.
