We were back at our lagoon last Sunday. It was blowing so hard that Derek was overpowered on his 4.0 and Nes was dying on her 3.7. :) However, we managed to find a smaller section of the lagoon where it only took 20 second to go from one side to the other. Of course, short distance meant that many more attempts on the moves we were trying. I was able to get in some shove-it practices along with my vulcans on both sides... And Derek almost got his e-sliders... We need just one more day on the lagoon...
We took the Monday off to get ourselves ready for the waves - as their sizes are getting bigger everyday. The best rest day ever! Our day started with me on the horse venturing the sand dunes by myself and Derek on foot taking our pictures. Despite the bruises I got from galloping, horseback riding was awesome. Then we scheduled our massages... One session of Osteopathy and one session of an hour massage... By the end of the day, we were the most relaxed people on EARTH! :)
For the last two days, we’ve been waveriding with (at least) 50 more windsurfers! We might finally get the waves for backloops today. Sarah-quita already found some yesterday. It is great to watch a 18-year old girl landing all her crazy moves while making them look like a piece of cake. As intimidating as it gets with all the pros in the water, it is a great learning experience. We already have several coaches helping us with the moves we are trying (Derek - ponch, flaka, grubby, eslider / Nes - shove-it, grubby).
