Soma Bay Clinic 2010

Fanatic Pro Camp Soma Bay 2010

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 Foto part...

Marocco and cold cold Germany

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

the little delay.....

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......

mother nature is stronger than my wish to fly....

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.....

Summer has come

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... For the Wave Special in Morocco we are already fully booked, which is just great but for the Soma Bay Clinic in May there are still places available..... just check at www.windsurflabor.de for all info or contact me right away.....

back to blog......

It´s been almost a month now without blogging.... no holidays or failing internet connections are to blame for, only work kept me away from writing about life, wind, travel or fotos.... it have been pretty intense weeks ultimately but actually that was what i have been searching for..... plus it has been windy, very very windy in el yaque which brought me on the water with my smallest windsurfgear which I really like.... inbetween some early morning foto sessions, lots of typing on my PC and editing video..... plus some publicity for my Windsurf Clinics, which work out really well with the Fanatic Boarderscenter and the Morocco Event is already fully booked and Lanzarote almost..... (see www.windsurflabor.de) Now, during Semana Santa, which is THE Party week of the year in El Yaque i am more focused on reporting about everything at El Yaque News 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....

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....
