Stormy weather....

It´s been windy for the 4,7 and 4,2 the past days, weeks.. finally, after long long waiting to finally have a go with the smaller sails and boards.. even it´s been quite flat it´s been funny.. especially watching Freestyle Worldchampion Gollito Estredo performing his moves more and more radical and getting a new move almost every single day...... today we sailed a huge storm with some rain and wind for the 4,0 for maybe one hour.... remembered me at the good old north sea days.. only without waves..... i´m looking forward to be in waves again pretty soon.... at our wave special in Moulay - Morocco from the 20th to the 25th of May.... if also you want to join, you´re more than welcome..... just ask for more info at travel@fanatic-boarderscenter.com !!!!

El Yaque´s Semana Santa is getting quiet......

Surprise surprise, we were all expecting a typical El Yaque Semana Santa, with a packed Beach, full of Party People, massive car traffic and lots of noise, hard or impossible for any Windsurfer to go on the water.....
2009 was totally different, the beach looked more like during an average sunday at the semana santa week, no trouble for Windsurfers, who could even leave their gear at the beach without worries..... Nice to see El Yaque is going back to the roots.... ;-)
