We have had loads of wind this august, after a lighter July its welcome and we have been making the most of it as much as possible. We have just had a great week with a really nice crowd, visiting the wave beach two days in a row and also making many trips to the point. I got requested to take photos for a large percentage of the group and luckily for me they were definitely not a boring group of windsurfers, everyone trying to get the biggest jumps, attempting their first forward loops, going for the footstraps and planning for the first time or simply crashing in style! I really enjoyed working with them, and also luckily Phil took a couple of me at the wavebeach too, as you see from one of these pics (sadly the wind and waves had dropped so i took to trying to vulcan in the waves instead).The last few days have seen me sort out my spocks and i have been getting a couple a session now which i am super happy about. Its taken a while and i was always so close and suddenly it seems to have clicked (fingers crossed)!! On to 540's now and also i am still trying grubbies and flakas coming in. To those of you who don't have a clue what these moves are, they are very cool and not many girls can do them so i am very happy, even if Phil is worlds ahead landing spock 900's now!! He has been on form, landing more burners, ponch's, air funnels and also sorting out his Kono's getting some awesome height!
This week will be a quiet one, so more time to blog, and also we are thinking of taking a car up the coast and trying to find this lagoon we'd hope to check out before. If we get turned back by the tourist police so-be-it, we can but try hey!
