A most enjoyable and fun day out at Matas with the N.W.T. Corralejo and the Vikings. Well done all of you for making the trip. Sorry Paul could not make it, he missed out.

Some of us have to work every now and then. Had a nice time blasting around in the rain  at Playa Blanca on a late session until the sun went down. Hope the Vikings didn't show you up too much. ;-p

After the first session with 98L and 30 fin, the wind increased a bit and I took a smaller board of 74L and 28 fin. ( Still with 7 meters sail ).

It was wrong. A 90L board probably could have been better, but ambition to go faster than in the first session drove me to make that mistake.

Anyway if you don't try you never learn. ( Some times even trying..)

A good day in Matas, again with a lot of friends. We planned this visit to the south from a week ago. Five cars. Probably more than 20 sandwiches and 20 bananas. A very vary group. English, Danish, Dutch and Spanish. George, Mike, Jasper, Sören, Ilo, Eugene and Graciela.

Quite strong wind and right direction, but very gusty. Surface flat enough.

I rigged 7.0 and 98L board with 30 fin, immediately more than 30 knots.

Little by little improving in each run, stopping at the begining of every one to make arrangements. A great fun and very useful practice to learn more about the gear.

The only "black spot" is the center-school recently  installed in the middle of the beach. That very tall building makes a quite long shade over the water. A part of this, people in charge should be more aware about the sailors in the water when they use their jet-skis or zodiac. I think Matas is not a good place for a school. It is dangerous for beginners because the off shore wind. I hope I'm wrong, but....will see.
