Was my first session in Le Rouet! Weather was terrible, but a lot of fun!

Later session a bit lighter, but still fun!

Day two in France.

Yesterday no surf because of very light onshore wind when I arrived, so did some shopping. I met this great guy, Roberto (two times world champion formula) Hofman. We made plans to sail together today @the pump.

First I used the Mistral 55 and 6,3. the wind picked up and it was time to take a smaller board, but in these conditions I wanted to make another run. It ended in the air, with a Mistral that is very well capable of flying , only the landing can be much smoother. Not injured, thanks to the breaking of the harness line, but after changing to the -49 I discovered that the topbatten was broken, so I had to change to the 5,6 to prevent more damage on the sail.

With the 5,6 it was good on the run, but going upwind was hard, had to walk often. The water was super flat, long time ago I saw it this perfect, no sandbars, no waves. 

What made my day special is the meeting in real life with "Les Fanas" I follow the blog and  the FB page of Annie. Tnx for the pictures Toutone!

Congratz with your speeds Roberto, you were flying.

So tomorrow is another day 

 grrr who, where and how much did you pay to get that flat water, only 3 days after we returned ??
