Website

During the summer I was able to create my own website, which means that I am not using this blog any more.

Vass so far

I have now been in Vass for the last 6 weeks and everything is going really well.. On the wind front we have had some mental days, of 4.2 full power, there have also been some really late sessions after work where i have been out on the water until 9:30 making the most of the wind which was left!

98, 2012 Rodeo

Since i have been here, i have been able to get out on the new sails from Simmer, which are the Whitetip, and they are so good!! super powerful but so much easier for ducking when it comes to moves in switch and regular. Not only are they better for ducking, but they are also really light.. I have currently only got the 4.8 and 5.2, but i am waiting for the 4.4 for those stronger days!!

Barracuda and Rodeo

I have recently had a photo shoot with Harry who is working for Jay Haysey this year with Globalshots, here are some glimpses into harry working his magic with the camera. if you are interested in seeing what Harry can do you then get in touch with him here!!!

Dahab, 2 weeks this time not 9 months!!

However hard I tried I just couldn't stay away!!

After being in the UK for the last 4 months and only getting out on the water a handful of times, I thought it was about time I got back to Dahab where I know I can get out on the water more than once a month.

Apart from today the forecast is looking amazing!! Especially for the Dahab festival competition tomorrow where it is looking like it will blow a good 30+ knots all day. Windguru: Dahab

With any luck I will get to sail some of the other spots out here in these 2 weeks, such as places like Secret Spot and Blue Lagoon.

Club Vass

So its official, this year I am going to be working for Club Vass in Greece!!!

After 2 years in Dahab with Neilson and now the center shutting, I have decided to have a change and work for the team in Vass this summer.

I cant wait for the summer to start and the wind to arrive as there has been very little in the UK since I have been here!! With the windsurfing standard out there being so high, i hope to improve some more!!
