Today it looks a bit better and hopefully i´m ready for the wind..... At least I got some work to do... on my TBNews website where you´ll find all info and news about the 2010 Fuerteventura Wolrdcups with lots of Fotos of course.... <a href="http://www.tom-brendt.de">www.tom-brendt.de</a><br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-19591783147712391242010-07-16T03:13:00.000-07:002010-07-16T03:15:49.401-07:00New Products<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSY8x9SnrMy5giA9lS_s2Qi8faJqHYk42d2mo9Mc6zmPCyo0Gl5P7SDTyc-OzywcCxgTvO9GZSCf5SCZKjxj4w1Eta6Q06-0jRfNACVkaJ5NjFkKfcePr4XJQCXl9fOYYCDBPlQ11sIIM/s1600/F11_Quad_Anzeige_Web_800x350.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSY8x9SnrMy5giA9lS_s2Qi8faJqHYk42d2mo9Mc6zmPCyo0Gl5P7SDTyc-OzywcCxgTvO9GZSCf5SCZKjxj4w1Eta6Q06-0jRfNACVkaJ5NjFkKfcePr4XJQCXl9fOYYCDBPlQ11sIIM/s320/F11_Quad_Anzeige_Web_800x350.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494445634921679714" border="0" /></a><br />Fanatic has just launched its new Range for 2011 including Windsurf Boards with the new Quad Waveboards, plus a nice range of Stand Up Paddle Boards, Surfboards and the Surfskates.... all at te brandnew Website <a href="http://www.fanatic.com/">www.fanatic.com</a>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-53207498696198098892010-06-24T04:27:00.000-07:002010-06-24T04:31:54.823-07:00FPC Lanzarote 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GmVgkCmiqGXf-1DvYo9PG5XnEEnCZAF59G7uHfjG6psJy3KCb23ioYAoilQcYC49TQo2oxHesYpSXfjcyU00Pwz1V_l1W99d28cUaSqAl5ZDbbZSoxH_AkAmiNEKEKWxd8bXEG8AY7Q/s1600/IMG_1237_resize.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2GmVgkCmiqGXf-1DvYo9PG5XnEEnCZAF59G7uHfjG6psJy3KCb23ioYAoilQcYC49TQo2oxHesYpSXfjcyU00Pwz1V_l1W99d28cUaSqAl5ZDbbZSoxH_AkAmiNEKEKWxd8bXEG8AY7Q/s320/IMG_1237_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486300823111119218" border="0" /></a><br />Between the 07th and the 12th of june we had our first Fanatic Pro Camp "Carve and Ride" at the Fanatic Boarders Center, Club Nathalie Simon at Costa Teguise, Lanzarote. A Spot with all different kind of conditions you can imagine, from Flatwater in the Bay to Choppy Water, swell and waves, all at one Spot, just great and so were the clients, which had come to improve their Jibes, learn Duckjibes, Jumps and Forward Loops. The week provided some perfect conditions and a no wind day for a really nice excursion over the Island of Lanzarote with its vinyards and volcanos and a big amount of great surf beaches especially in the north and north west of the Island. It has been another great week and the Event for 2011 is already planned and almost ready to be published...<br />See all images to the event at <a href="http://www.windsurflabor.de/">www.windsurflabor.de</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho5obhHmiyI5uoFUHHC3YjcjYtILYg40_Efd_H_ClswEvQ2_ayJVBfs7OCCHp7azhadrnMOH0pz2oh4fDZBlfuLfaJmsu7Sgq-8BbthWdV18GmrcvxGpGCLMwS8yq-ew41IKZ7TaKhIr8/s1600/IMG_1220_resize.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho5obhHmiyI5uoFUHHC3YjcjYtILYg40_Efd_H_ClswEvQ2_ayJVBfs7OCCHp7azhadrnMOH0pz2oh4fDZBlfuLfaJmsu7Sgq-8BbthWdV18GmrcvxGpGCLMwS8yq-ew41IKZ7TaKhIr8/s320/IMG_1220_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486301092109307266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPu0VT2mej3NEaEHabAS0TEvqjDTm81iK3Iv546OWL-OkEXf3EEWPGqs88q0K71qZU7rpLT6x6GpZLLeabFhMM3oiXHMzZzlAC3NrGOQN6-UnPEhHciTR0dFQvbPR_qSUxGucmKueeFHU/s1600/FPC+Lanzarote+group_016_resize.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPu0VT2mej3NEaEHabAS0TEvqjDTm81iK3Iv546OWL-OkEXf3EEWPGqs88q0K71qZU7rpLT6x6GpZLLeabFhMM3oiXHMzZzlAC3NrGOQN6-UnPEhHciTR0dFQvbPR_qSUxGucmKueeFHU/s320/FPC+Lanzarote+group_016_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486301416232855794" border="0" /></a>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-90663529903400060832010-05-25T04:51:00.000-07:002010-05-25T04:52:04.536-07:00Soma Bay Clinic 2010<p> <em><strong>Fanatic Pro Camp Soma Bay 2010</strong></em> </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"> For the first time the Windsurflabor.de Crew visited Soma Bay in Egypt for another Clinic of the Fanatic Pro Camps and surely it wasn´t the last one. A great week with lots of wind between 15 and 45 knots windspeeds, a very nice and super friendly Windsurf Center, beautiful watercolours combined with easy going water surface and airtemperatures of around 34 degrees. The Planet Windsurf Center in front of the Caribbean World Resort Hotel has been a very good choice for our six days clinic, where most participants had arrived to improve their jibing skills. The 2011 Soma Bay Event is already been planned and all dates will be online here at Windsurflabor.de soon.... so far see the Fotos of the Event at the <a href="http://windsurflabor.jimdo.com/fotos/">Foto part... </a></p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVO-fUSoC6O7T7O-Vq4OcgFeOEiJ8cOtMkOp6vUXXNitPVyLBaCGwbMRfldE82_l9M-gB3YlGbHpInBrcwY0CpjhdzhJmoVA2xjkU8XGzVJxrvNFrTdrkxiW3r9KISQS0Nyk0sR4H982SY/s1600/IMG_0316_resize.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVO-fUSoC6O7T7O-Vq4OcgFeOEiJ8cOtMkOp6vUXXNitPVyLBaCGwbMRfldE82_l9M-gB3YlGbHpInBrcwY0CpjhdzhJmoVA2xjkU8XGzVJxrvNFrTdrkxiW3r9KISQS0Nyk0sR4H982SY/s320/IMG_0316_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475173578945868370" border="0" /></a>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-45839868075824868412010-05-06T06:00:00.001-07:002010-05-06T06:03:26.963-07:00Marocco and cold cold Germany<div style="text-align: justify;">Just back from Morocco. Back from the Wave Special at Moulay we just held at the Fanatic Boarderscenter at this great Wave Spot in Morocco. A week with great Windsurf Conditions and lots of very nice people, I really enjoyed this Clinic and was super happy that all participants, which came from all over Europe, improved so much during this week. Now I´m sitting in cold and rainy Germany, trying not to get too sick..... but at least i´ll leave soon again, this time egypt.... it should be a bit warmer there<br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-46478790899332197472010-04-20T18:31:00.000-07:002010-04-20T18:36:27.616-07:00the little delay.....<div style="text-align: justify;">and it came a little different than i thought, actually a lot different.... One week of waiting might be over as I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, with the ash clowd hopefully disappearing from the Iceland Volcano, which has stopped the entire Air Traffic over europe and caused a worldwide travel chaos. Also many of my friends and colleagues had to spend a couple of nights at various airports before airlines started slowly to fly some routes yesterday and today.... it seems that from thursday on the normal flightplans might be possible and so I also could finally leave Margarita to Europe and for my next Windsurflabor Clinics..... In the end it was all good, i missed some important dates in Europe but I am looking forward to maybe at least be at the next ones.... fingers crossed......<br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-9531151018491372512010-04-17T18:07:00.000-07:002010-04-17T18:13:29.349-07:00mother nature is stronger than my wish to fly....<div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, also i am one of the hundred thousands passengers waiting to get his flight. but at least i am stucked "home" while i am waiting and checking the web news to follow the ash clowd news and in the end to see that all Airports remain closed and possibly for longer than expected.... Hopefully the nice westwinds, which we just love once we are at the north sea for windsurfing, will help to push the huge clowd a bit faster easterly and away from central europe to finally get on that plane.... especially for those who are waiting at the airports, for days, while their families or friends are waiting .... Now we can see if we start gambling with the nature, we will possibly always loose. Now, sitting at El Yaque Beach, watching the clowds and the rain coming closer, at least I get some days to relax, since there is really no way to change the actual situation.....<br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-79130206068430204642010-04-14T14:34:00.001-07:002010-04-14T14:34:25.986-07:00Summer has come<div class="post-header"> </div> The summer has come !! which seems to look very nice actually isn´t the best notice for the Caribbean Wind addicts. After a windy, a very windy Winter in El Yaque, which has started already last autumn and hasn´t stopped since, the summer weather might have arrived over early as well. From one day to the next the wind has gone and hot and humid weather took over, hard rainfalls started at the Venezuelan Mainland and at many latin american countries... The right time for me to leave, with my next Clinic in Morocco and Egypt coming soon...

(see <a href="http://www.windsurflabor.de">www.windsurflabor.de</a>) Now, during Semana Santa, which is THE Party week of the year in El Yaque i am more focused on reporting about everything at <a href="http://www.elyaquenews.com">El Yaque News</a> before going back to "normal" work. of course you can always see the latest images and whatever you like to see on this site..... while i am working on my new personal site, which will come out soon with new images, videos, reports etc......... but since i´m back to blog i´ll keep you updated, promised....<br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-61441681235073106972010-03-05T05:16:00.000-08:002010-03-05T05:27:50.775-08:00Back from ColombiaFive 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 !!!

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...<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48D1LU01XELL_D8MRPz9EDCp735nmbA2MSqX1WrxDTWAZy44kEylnC7fCZFUi-k6tk6AUO5NFMu7TTLp31v9fU5stDRHB6lVJemMaqVepSYZKYVGch6oUdCPO4HFTub_ShI1lLB1NpDs/s1600-h/El+Yaque+ws+17022010_019_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi48D1LU01XELL_D8MRPz9EDCp735nmbA2MSqX1WrxDTWAZy44kEylnC7fCZFUi-k6tk6AUO5NFMu7TTLp31v9fU5stDRHB6lVJemMaqVepSYZKYVGch6oUdCPO4HFTub_ShI1lLB1NpDs/s320/El+Yaque+ws+17022010_019_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440723902586696498" border="0" /></a><br />so long i work on the new online newspaper <a href="http://www.elyaquenews.com/">www.elyaquenews.com</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.elyaquenews.com"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bCqYRScFu24um7lcw58SmD9lwhhg8gY5FxnQgxWMzSARSwlpO2H2hysFaEM7m2-dbqWLQUeCCEXUCImurZBSo-SLJxSEEu8Toa8J30Qfh1mpJo3-ui_0dJePF66n7c_KANYurREQEX4/s320/1498+logo+sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440724138230500322" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-4722723392977040842010-02-10T19:28:00.001-08:002010-02-10T19:31:33.134-08:00Fanatic Pro Camp El Yaque 2010<b style=""><span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:16pt;" ><span style="font-size:130%;">Fanatic Pro Camp 2010</span><o:p></o:p></span></b> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:";" >El Yaque</span><span style=""> </span><i style="">03. – 08.02.2010<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:";" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size:100%;">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<sup>th</sup> 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.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www10.jimdo.com/app/323860/153736712/">Event Images here ...>>></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www10.jimdo.com/app/323860/240143312/">Event Video here ...>>></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGvPIVGXlNFc230ePW_3Kes6anpMYQJBOLerIm-Luvu1cbvC1wzpVM2aMrtLqZ2DRsBd7JTavT6FUlgSlJ3Fq7tS4IB15R3NUnAzOp75pVsOEOLxS0RYT-PAQPm9JKU6ThvBORSbmUng/s1600-h/El+Yaque+Clinic+03022010_018_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGvPIVGXlNFc230ePW_3Kes6anpMYQJBOLerIm-Luvu1cbvC1wzpVM2aMrtLqZ2DRsBd7JTavT6FUlgSlJ3Fq7tS4IB15R3NUnAzOp75pVsOEOLxS0RYT-PAQPm9JKU6ThvBORSbmUng/s320/El+Yaque+Clinic+03022010_018_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436823098048720690" border="0" /></a><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=";font-family:";" lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-48717475718389273652010-02-03T04:24:00.000-08:002010-02-03T04:29:56.203-08:00The startI 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.

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 ??

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 <a href="http://www.windsurflabor.de/">Windsurflabor.de</a> Destinations and Events, finally realising some image ideas for my <a href="http://www.tom-brendt-foto.de/">Photography work</a> and keep on pushing my new news website <a href="http://www.elyaquenews.com/">1498 El Yaque News</a> .<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I still wish you also all the best for 2010 !!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjApqfw9-YjmuOw-fxKO_czTpDNxNgW3XiHGj3-Fqx2L_pDGmwfDIo9LoJEmCofapz9yDto5JCdYCkyCbRYRZc91IVYjJW68-HaViwuIVv8r7uSKABALNX7BrX0snZ3Hs6axn0qqFYFXpc/s1600-h/New+Year+El+Yaque+2010_021_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjApqfw9-YjmuOw-fxKO_czTpDNxNgW3XiHGj3-Fqx2L_pDGmwfDIo9LoJEmCofapz9yDto5JCdYCkyCbRYRZc91IVYjJW68-HaViwuIVv8r7uSKABALNX7BrX0snZ3Hs6axn0qqFYFXpc/s320/New+Year+El+Yaque+2010_021_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424350717558702290" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-736720695904785982010-01-04T07:36:00.001-08:002010-01-04T07:37:43.677-08:00Windy El Yaque Pro CampOnly one month to go !!

One day at the North Shore, at Playa Taguantar and Puerto Cruz and two days Windsurfing in El Yaque with waves I can´t remember to have had here at this Flatwater Freestyle Spot before. I don´t know how many hours I´ve spent on the water the past three days, but enough to get very few sleep since I had to do my work the remaining hours of the day.. but it was truly worth it...<br

you might enjoy those days, if you don´t like Christmas, I wish you that you´ll find your place to hide and have fun. For me that place will be on the water, even if my body starts to strike sometimes after windsurfing every single day In the past weeks, I will enjoy my Christmas Session, that´s for sure !! Hopefully I´ll get some time to rest as well after a couple of 16 – 18 hours working days, which only have been interfered by my windsurfing, which was very helpful to clear my mind, I´ll try to enjoy the Beach those days.

It´s 41 days now that I´m already back in the Caribbean, only two days I haven´t sailed, half of the 39 windy days I was sailing my 5,0 Ice and even sometimes my new Newwave 76. That´s fun, I still can´t believe how taht season started, unluckily it is still very very quiet in the Village. With less flights between europe and the Island of Margarita it seems to be hard to get here... On the water of course is just fun sharing teh entire bay with maybe 8 - 9 other Windsurfers... To keep myself off the water and give my body a little rest, I just created the new El Yaque online platform <a href="http://www.elyaquenews.com/"> 1498 el yaque news</a>.... which should provide you all with all Info you can imagine about El Yaque, the Island of Margarita and the Wind and Kitesurf world....<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqIvXl_mpTcnkATStfAHyOTQMSsjOXvGh0vTAer8F1aidiDlP6YL1C6RuF86H9oNP2shCKjvbKjfIR_k3nH6Nj3weuMvRdTF_ufx3iOMZWFVkPQDQINXXQgv7Rezr-kfXls5btg3YubRI/s1600-h/Tom+ws+ey+15122009_008_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqIvXl_mpTcnkATStfAHyOTQMSsjOXvGh0vTAer8F1aidiDlP6YL1C6RuF86H9oNP2shCKjvbKjfIR_k3nH6Nj3weuMvRdTF_ufx3iOMZWFVkPQDQINXXQgv7Rezr-kfXls5btg3YubRI/s320/Tom+ws+ey+15122009_008_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415831340239016210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1FnQhW-LqZfjuDhrREa_kah-2JqHiqLSraBE5zgXMDB1xCgUsd4Yz9XuJknST9LKacTJgNejvwVyaoxFzUsDZlEPRZdbPNhH3kdWwtWyyNHXpa__6wxEr7FSYbI4GDV8oQ-qun0gfbY8/s1600-h/Tom+ws+ey+15122009_021_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1FnQhW-LqZfjuDhrREa_kah-2JqHiqLSraBE5zgXMDB1xCgUsd4Yz9XuJknST9LKacTJgNejvwVyaoxFzUsDZlEPRZdbPNhH3kdWwtWyyNHXpa__6wxEr7FSYbI4GDV8oQ-qun0gfbY8/s320/Tom+ws+ey+15122009_021_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415831493358594066" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-61233973082724639412009-12-09T17:00:00.001-08:002009-12-09T17:03:43.057-08:001498<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAVQB47gNhzNaYDA4HCWbBQun17ohG4ngQve7O0dqTwcyLzh-h6T3L3M_6SZylfyOv5yZWYzYp3GdwEdMhxF2H6Smr7vm5VEqq4-dFRNcbTICu8DS0chrw0bt6PhKbULccYFfGQQQ0Ys/s1600-h/1498+logo+sm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuAVQB47gNhzNaYDA4HCWbBQun17ohG4ngQve7O0dqTwcyLzh-h6T3L3M_6SZylfyOv5yZWYzYp3GdwEdMhxF2H6Smr7vm5VEqq4-dFRNcbTICu8DS0chrw0bt6PhKbULccYFfGQQQ0Ys/s320/1498+logo+sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413406884849854930" border="0" /></a>

windy sunday.....Sunday, a real day of sun today. Sunday also means the "domingeros" like the Sunday local people are called, invade the Beaches with their huge freezers and tons of alcohol to enjoy their day. For us it just means a bigger crowd to watch some nice Windsurf Action. Even if the wind has been a bit shaky it was well enough for the 5,4 Duke and the 95 liter Freewave and some new freestyle moves. Though the people seemed to be more intersted in their Freezers, but it´s nice to see some of them their first Windsurfing experiences... Now we´re looking forward to another windy week before we say Bienvenidos Domingeros again...<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJyCjZHiLCc9DDcyaga8Iq9UtbW9dTH6_irkpOdFA0mrbfIkIlpB67LEbZSSne1i3vTPEQPlsP77SYlWzZCSdXfx_yYGiHwQ0R_y00kawcBU7oUxmbIXaHJqHR4xwk0m_2YmpTZ9z0bbo/s1600-h/el-yaque-29112009.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJyCjZHiLCc9DDcyaga8Iq9UtbW9dTH6_irkpOdFA0mrbfIkIlpB67LEbZSSne1i3vTPEQPlsP77SYlWzZCSdXfx_yYGiHwQ0R_y00kawcBU7oUxmbIXaHJqHR4xwk0m_2YmpTZ9z0bbo/s320/el-yaque-29112009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412250836633829714" border="0" /></a></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912655920081148348.post-24585443298182209432009-12-05T17:07:00.000-08:002009-12-05T17:23:04.326-08:00wellknown faces are back....<div style="text-align: justify;">After a month back at home in Playa El Yaque, many many windy days, little sunburns, quite some work and tons of paperwork I started wondering what might have happened to all the wellknown faces in El Yaque, the people who came here for many years, over and over again. I had no answer but i knew it is too quiet indeed in the small Fisher Village, at least until I had to go to the Airport yesterday and saw many of those faces also arriving, very nice i thought and good to see that after one, two not so good years people still trust in their winterplace and they are right, after all the work which has been done that Windsurfer Paradise just deserved another chnace and is on a very good way now. In Venezuela it just takes a little longer sometimes, but better late than never...<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6lRpivsrCFn7biUWj15SvQkP2j825chyphenhyphenopIlXFGrHDHm-PqrM8wb5q3M9vM0YU9U74j-Cgom0H9UnPVn9VQiW_rczQMGhIeeEoxSila6ZPGB4cWljeKa0rW8_Vfo40fhY-lKf_9kkL_c/s1600-h/El+Yaque+25112009_011_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6lRpivsrCFn7biUWj15SvQkP2j825chyphenhyphenopIlXFGrHDHm-PqrM8wb5q3M9vM0YU9U74j-Cgom0H9UnPVn9VQiW_rczQMGhIeeEoxSila6ZPGB4cWljeKa0rW8_Vfo40fhY-lKf_9kkL_c/s320/El+Yaque+25112009_011_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411927416243068514" border="0" /></a>I´m feeling good again in El Yaque, at the Beach and on the water, and there I´ve been much more than expected at this time of the year. The wind blows and blows and I finally got the chance to train some more Freestyle and catch one or the other Move...... Feels really good and brings Motivation back into my bones, brain and muscles....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

<![endif]--><span style="" lang="EN-US">What has it been a couple of years ago that brought me to this small Fishervillage at the Island of Margarita in the southern Caribbean Sea ? the past two years I was wondering more and more and almost really forgot the reason. Now, sitting at a Beach Terass at my second home, watching the whitecaps on the water, the Palmtrees bending and the Windsurfers flying over the water i do remember. The first two three years when I arrived to this Windsurfers Community it´s been windy almost every single day, sometimes we had to skip a couple of windsurf days because the body just couldn´t do it anymore.... and now, it all looks the same. Windy already in the early morning and all day long, so yesterday was already my first day that I decided to stay at the Beach and only watch windsurfing.... to be able practising some new Moves today.... it´s good to be back !!!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaV1Q14yKh_aK06BarLd4Hx1CjST_SbVUrsyiEFWhwRDrMPG1nULAvtdPtxbXay1KpvndMzXqqWMu4-56hBHDHth9oT7mDZnPRceapqUzQm8GiaGSdiuT1YYrKv7NoSJF6o3k1t-LlS8/s1600/Tom+ws+ey+22112009_005_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifaV1Q14yKh_aK06BarLd4Hx1CjST_SbVUrsyiEFWhwRDrMPG1nULAvtdPtxbXay1KpvndMzXqqWMu4-56hBHDHth9oT7mDZnPRceapqUzQm8GiaGSdiuT1YYrKv7NoSJF6o3k1t-LlS8/s320/Tom+ws+ey+22112009_005_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407716503644804114" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlo6DIWaziqkLtYlhTsfzCs6tM-3Vt0Vwl3DcGemNUSidtZ8gm0sMWR7wSX4BunMWFwSH3e-d1fgWU-YjnQUh9uHkRwq-9D6CRwSyHptwmSeWiwo5pW514MDiHuzd_QEm8_0-wzwAPnNM/s1600/Yoli+ws+ey+23112009_002_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlo6DIWaziqkLtYlhTsfzCs6tM-3Vt0Vwl3DcGemNUSidtZ8gm0sMWR7wSX4BunMWFwSH3e-d1fgWU-YjnQUh9uHkRwq-9D6CRwSyHptwmSeWiwo5pW514MDiHuzd_QEm8_0-wzwAPnNM/s320/Yoli+ws+ey+23112009_002_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407716642847856626" border="0" /></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">

A lot of things have been done during the Summer to male the small Village more attractive and so far everything seems to work out well and the wind also plays game. Only to the temperature I haven´t been adapted very well until now. It´s very dry and hot at the moment. What is perfect for the wind is not really the best for the Island, which is much dryer tha usually and also our freshly planted Trees and Flowers in our graden could need a bit of water sometimes. The past two days I went walking around a bit and checked the new Hotels and Posadas to see the changes to the last season and how´s everything in the Posadas I got on my <a href="http://www.tom-brendt.de/toms%20el%20yaque%20site.htm">Travel Website</a>, and I was pretty impressed.. it´s been all Beautiful with nice Gardens and super clean, plus a new Restaurant and Sushi Bar...... Yaque is growing.....<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuE4473vTmEEqmEH6gx_FdDggCs8JgkmCYvM9MF6EMwtBbEqmuuaaWlqSWD_ADYyTUQCu-GqTex-To13lOh4RpBR45P1vCofYU9s96gFhmp77NlVhjRDtUFjedmmEUK7vTh1u21DO7QdI/s1600/El+Yaque+13112009_016_resize.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuE4473vTmEEqmEH6gx_FdDggCs8JgkmCYvM9MF6EMwtBbEqmuuaaWlqSWD_ADYyTUQCu-GqTex-To13lOh4RpBR45P1vCofYU9s96gFhmp77NlVhjRDtUFjedmmEUK7vTh1u21DO7QdI/s320/El+Yaque+13112009_016_resize.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405409782609379682" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Tom Brendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03347435416948907568noreply@blogger.com0
