dahab action :)






Having spent a few days getting settled in Dahab, we are now back in El Tur for a short while to handover to the new manager of Oceansource. We managed to get some photo time for ourselves yesterday whilst shooting in Dahab...good day with a nice mix of work and play...here's a few to taste, its great to shoot in a new location and i can see Dahab has a lot of potential for different angles which will work great at different times of day...good stuff :)
Oh yeah hop you like the lion fish, we think it is pretty cool! :) We have some local camels by our house, they will be featuring soon too :)

New Pad :)




We have now moved home, from the west coast of the Sinai Penisular in Egypt to the East coast. From El Tur to Dahab. Dahab is a very famous windsurfing spot, where we have decided to base ourselves for the rest of the summer to try to establish ourselves as freelance coaches and also we will be doing some photography on the side too.
Our new pad is really nice, very hot today but everywhere is with 45degrees C +!!! I have attached some pics, please note the empty bedroom waiting for guests ;)
All is good here, and will hopefully get some fresh pictures of me and mr phil up on here very soon....very busy with new plans but we will make sure of it!

A little more time now....





I edited my blog and now I can't undo the changes, so I am stuck with Jelly beans for now as I can't find anything better! I was hoping I could use my own photo for the background but apparently not :(

Now we have a little more time, after a brilliant week with the Bray Lake group, I have put up some more pictures for you.

Phil and I have also had some time and decided on a new name for our website for our up and coming job change and new adventures (trying to break into the world of freelance coaching), beginning here in Egypt and then hoping to succeed and take our work all over. Once we have the site up and running I will let you know! Its all very exciting though. Watch this space ;)

We have had a really busy week, with Bray Lake club trip coming to stay and lots of wind. Its been great fun, and even had a little time for blasting with mates and some short freestyle sessions. I have put up a couple of pics, more to come soon :) I am also putting together a video with some Go-pro clips and recent Dahab action so watch this space...coming soon!

No new photos for a while, but news is I'm in Dahab at the moment, where I have been lucky enough to get a space on an intermediate windsurf instructor course, which is really helping to pull together all that I already know and enable me hopefully to have more confidence now in my teaching. I have wanted to take this course for a long time without luck, and now its perfect because I even have got away with not doing it in chilly England! I am really enjoying the course, although looking forward to getting back to El Tur to Phil, home, familiarity and a few less people on the water than here. Until then i believe its a party night tonight ;) Club Dahab here we go.

Holiday!!!

So we have just had a lovely sunny week in the UK, visiting family following a wedding of one of our mates. Its been a great week, no windsurfing and not even a camera with me made it somewhat different to the average week in Egypt and it was great to see my family and catch up again. Back to Egypt tonight, fr a really good forecast which i am very very excited about. Phil has just got a Go-Pro which is cool, i have already got many vulcans and a couple of messy spocks on it and look forward to playing with mast mounts and stuff next week.

Things for us are changing soon too, as we have decided to change our job situation slightly, giving us a very exciting future as many people with ideas and plans have been approaching us, as well as our own ideas in the mix...watch this space!!

Been a while....



The weather has been very up and down with a lot of clouds and not a lot of wind once the clouds cleared. We have had a couple of mates form the UK here this week and so have been out and about, climbing the mountain nearby, dining in the lovely (haha) Sharm, and a good amount of snorkelling. The next 2 days look good and then on friday we are off to the UK for a week with friends and family, a weeks holiday!!
