busy times

title says it all really :)
its good to be busy and we have had some epic conditions too.
the week has been full power anything from 30 to 45 knots. even my smallest sail 3.7 were feeling over powered. might have to purchace a 3.3 :)
having said that the kit has been fantastic. the starboard flare 88 is performing well as are my severne S1's. i have a smaller board this year and its made a huge difference to my sailing especially the more powerfull moves and stronger winds.

been nailing a few more culos and have now started to try spock culos. they feel close but are still agonizingly just out of reach. i have a beer bet on nailing them soon so its going to be my move to work on for now.

unfortunatly have had no chance of pictures as we have been far to busy to spare a photographer but will hopefully get some quality photos and vids soon.

first week back in Egypt

First week Back in El Tur has gone smoothly.
Very busy this time of season and we are expecting lots of groups and clinics in the next 2 months.

Talking about clinics. running my 2nd this week. the guys on the clinic with me are doing well and we are having fun on the water.

the wind is in an odd direction this week and is from the south.
this makes the bayreally choppy (quite similer to cape town lake conditions)
yesterday wasfull power 4.7 on my brand new severne S1. should really of been on a 4.3 but held on :)

really good session with big shakas,kulos and kono.

the rst of the week is forecast similer direction 5.3 to 4.7 weather before switching back to the normal north west direction on tues & weds, its looking strong too.
fingers crossed for a classic el tur habibi beach wave session.
