Wind alternatives....

Since there is still no wind here in Tarifa, we are searching for alternatives.... and since there are now waves neither, surfing is not such an alternative.... so we decided to film a lot to provide a new Video from here pretty soon.... At night we went for the very first time to a typical Flamenca in the Almedina Bar.. and we were stoked by the music.... and just went again for a second time.... really really nice !!!!

No gas and lorry drivers strike !!!!

Not only the wind went on strike again... also the lorry drivers in south europe are on strike and the first consequence is that it just became impossible to fill up our gas... so no more driving for now... most gasstations are closed already.... hopefully it doesn´t last too long... in a few days we have to leave and a two hours drive to the airport, which might be hard without fuel..... we´ll see and keep fingers crossed !!!

Aggressive Kitecrash and Video

After two more or less windy Levante days for the 4,2 and 3,7 with one supercrowded day at the Dune and a nicer day in Bolonia, the wind forced us back to the Dune today.. just enough for the 4,7 sail and my Freewave 86.... but still nice for some Freestyle, before a Kiter crashed into our friend Beat steffan and me at a time, right in the middle of the windsurfers area, which was followed by a pretty aggressive discussion at the Beach from the Kitesurfers side. Luckily Beat stayed calm and so avoided a that something happened there.....
Yoli had already finished her training Session, which will be online as video pretty soon.... but now online is laso her newest Video Clip from her wintertraining in El Yaque....

A lot of wind but low funfaktor....

Long long time we waited for the Levante to come. same as all spanish Wind and Kitesurfers around Tarifa, and so once the Levante started the spot at the Dune became FULL !!!! For me way to crowded and though we had a lot of wind, the Funfactor was close to zero.... just toooo many Kitebeginners in between all Windsurfers and also many Windsurfers out of control... so day two we went to our favourite spot Bolonia and had a nice morning Session, before the wind dropped and also Bolonia, where Kitesurfing is prohibited, became crowded with Kitesurfers... I´m also a Kitesurfer, but I don´t understand why they all have to sail right between all windsurfers, when they have like 20 kilometres of sandy Coastline for sailing ????

surf session and the wind is back..

After long windless time in tarifa everybody is getting nervous... since the forecasts showed lots of Levante for the next days.. and it became true.... the wind already changed and surely picks up until saturday morning .. finally !!!! like always when the wind turns from poniente to levante, the levante forms some nice surf breaks at Balneario, the break in front of tarifa City.... so I also got my first surf session of this season..... and tomorrow back on the windsurfer.....

Winter is over...

so, now also in tarifa the winter is over and the sun is back.... hopefully the wind will follow soon !!! at least we could leave our winterjackets at home today !!!
