some hours at the airport later...

After some Travel and quite some hours at different airports I am back in Germany for a couple of days, just getting ready for our next Windsurf Event in Tarifa, starting the 07th of june... I could use my time to renew and relaunch the www.windsurflabor.de website... You can find all news and infos now about the Windsurflabor Pro Windsurf Events in Cooperation with Fanatic - North Sails and ION.... between programming I also always keep an eye on what´s happening at the Margarita Wildwinds in El Yaque.... guys like Kevin Pritchard, Peter Volwater, Kiri Thode, Taty Frans, Antxon Otaegui and more have found their way to compete ... so far Volwater leads the Slalom fleed, while Gollito Estredo and Yoli de Brendt have won their Freestyle Single Eliminations....

Living real Morocco.....

After spending two days in touristic Essaouira, at least more touristic than i thought it would be, yesterday we spent our first day in Moulay... the small real moroccon village and one of the best Wavespots of the entire coastline. Just perfect for our Wave Special Clinic, and even with no wind and waves yesterday we just enjoyed a great day in Moulay and at the Fanatic Boarderscenter with its small Cafe Reto, on first floor with a great view over the spot.... today the forecast told us we will have our first day ripping out there... we will see .. and report of course...

My journey through the cultures of the world

Sometimes I wake up in the morning, not knowing exactly where i am... I´ve been travelling through some countries and cultures in the past week... from latin style easy going Venezuela to well structured and organized, clean Germany further to Morocco... kind of mixture of third world, luxury hotels and the magic arabic world.... I am still very impressed by all i get to see during my journey... just love it !!! At the moment I am in Essaouira and Moulay... Morocco´s most famous Wave Spot.... waiting for the waves and wind to come... It is already day number three of the first Windsurflabor Wave Special in Cooperation with the Fanatic Boarderscenter, Magic Fun Africa, Fanatic, North Sails, ION and Dwarf 8.... even without wind I like it so far... some surfsessions, theory and excursions done and ready for the next swell and wind........

windy and windy and windy......

After some hot and windless days last week, I´ve been sailing my 4,2 and the allwave 72 every day now for.... don´t remember how many days... just great.. unluckily the wind arrived late and I have to leave soon.. but I´m also looking forward to my Travel. First to Moulay for my Wave Special Clinic at the Fanatic Boarderscenter from the 20th til the 25th of May (interetested ?? travel@fanatic-boarderscenter.com ) and than to Tarifa, for the next clinic and to sail a bit in conditions I really like..... After a strange season in El yaque, only in the end i remember why I came and come here each winter... very good windy and our small little wavespots finally just work great !!!

Who dropped El Yaque in the paint bucket ?

Since I´ve arrived once again to the Caribbean Island of Margarita beginning of decembre, I walked around like in a black and white movie.. endless rainshowers, almost a 100% clowdcover most days and sad watercolours brought a pretty depressive feeling to the people at the Island of Margarita…. Until now… I´m wondering for almost three weeks now who might have dropped the Ilsand into the paint bucket.. suddenly all appears in beautiful and typical powerful colours.. just enjoyable… and for the first time this season I fell like back in the Caribbean and I remember why I came and stayed here…. With the colours and the drought also the termical winds have started their work and I got my first real windsurf days of the season, with my favourite gear for this Spot, the Fanatic Allwave 72 and my North ICE 4,2…. The last weeks just have been good enough to bring the motivation for the next cartibbean season back…. It must be a very good one.. after one of the worst seasons ever….

recovering from windy days.. uploading full Event Report

After some really great windsurf days, actually the first really nice windsurf days in the entire season, since i finally could use my favourite gear, the 72 Litre Allwave and my ICE 4,2 full powered up, plus some nice ramps .. the wind has dropped those days, like almost always when the people start invading the Island of Margarita once again... it´s 5 days weekend... the windless time gave me the opportunity to finally (after three days without any Internet) upload the Full Report of the Copa ONA in El Yaque at tom-brendt.de
