Back from Colombia

Five nice days in Colombia together with Gollito Estredo and Diony Guadagnino are behind me, with a stopover at Bogota Airport, which was a pretty freezing experience, didn´t know the City is located 2600 metres above see level.... further on to the City of Baranquilla and the Windsurf Spot of Puerto Velero, a huge Flatwater Lagoon on one side and a Wavespot on the Seaside.... very very nice place for the Sport !!! It was a very good experience, also being surrounded by very nice and kind people....

Another exhausted Windsurfer

It´s always a good sign when you are tired from Windsurfing at night and surely it is a great feeling, which we lived many many times during this Season in El Yaque, in which it just keeps on blowing every single day. I derigged my Sails bigger than 5,0 already weeks ago, just no need to get them dusty in the racks. The choice I have to take now almost every day is 4,5 or 4,2 and the 5,0 on the so called non windy days.... only ultimately the choice became more, windsurf or rest ?? after weeks of daily windsurfing and training, my body just needs a rest and sometimes i even stand at the beach, watching the whitecaps but just don´t want to go on the water because i already feel every single muscle and bone of my body.... Which is great and surely i do prefer that than waiting for wind..... and soon i´ll be back on the water, maybe today ?? my body will tell me once i´m at the beach...

so long i work on the new online newspaper www.elyaquenews.com

Fanatic Pro Camp El Yaque 2010

Fanatic Pro Camp 2010

El Yaque 03. – 08.02.2010

For the 8th time the Windsurflabor.de organized a Windsurf Clinic a tone of worlds Freestyle and Slalom Top Spots, in El Yaque at the Island of Margarita in Venezuela. Not only Cooperation Partner Planet Allsports helped by providing their Windsurf Centers and brandnew Fanatic and North Sails equipment, also the Restaurants Atti, Oasis, Fuerza 6 and Da Rocco, who served some delicious dinners for the group, the students, who arrived from the United States, Germany, Switzerland and Poland and throughout the entire week showed an immense Motivation to improve their Windsurfskills and last but not least, the windgods, which made the wind blow every single day for the 4,7 and 4,2 sails, to make this Fanatic Pro Camp 2010 a great and successful Event. The Jibe group and the Freestyle group got 4 – 5 hours of sailing each day including the tuiton and the students took their chances to improve their Jibes and Stance and to learn and understand the Forward Loop, Airjibes and Flakas, good themes to talk about at the daily Happy Hour and the following Dinner. The Event finished the 08^th of February at the Planet Allsports Center, where the Sun and Fun Sportsclub organized a happy hour followed by the Event Video Clip and the 4 Dimension Movie presentation.

The start

I can´t believe I got already 3 months in El Yaque again, time seems to fly, maybe with the extremely hard winds we are just living this winter... juts each day it´s windy. Perfect for our first Clinic of the year which starts today at the Planet Allsport Centers. Sun, wind, beach, nice students, happy hours and nice dinners, yes it will be a very good week for all of us...

what´s the reason....

An the past two years El Yaque, my winter home, lived some pretty strange years, with lots of rain, rare winds and some boring days.... this year it seems like this would never have happened and the normal El Yaque, like I knew it before is back. Caribbean colours each day, windy and even more windy and not only in El Yaque, also our secret Spots on Macanao, the desert part of the Island or at the Porlamar City Beach it has been windy and wavy quite often... this year I would really say, good to be back in el yaque... what´s the reason fo the changes... does somebody know ?? For me it´s just great and surely also for my clients, coming to our first Fanatic Pro Camp in 2010 between the 03rd and 08th of February.

A week in 2010

The first week in 2010 is over and actually, like always, nothing has really changed. Ok, we had the first two rainy days in the entire season, I got ill for two days, which didn´t happen in 2009, but the beach is still the same, the wind still blows, the christmas crowds are still at the beach, drinking tons of alcohol and trying to make the el yaque restaurants rich. Luckily for me the year has started with a lot of work and that surely is nothing bad.... and yesterday I had my first sail in 2010... Actually it was pretty good with my Freewave 95 and the ICE 4,7, only that my body still didn´t want like my brain did after two days in bed.... and what´s up in 2010, many new Windsurflabor.de Destinations and Events, finally realising some image ideas for my Photography work and keep on pushing my new news website 1498 El Yaque News .

I still wish you also all the best for 2010 !!
