M(R)E - TURN - SESSION

The reason to come back to Fuerte this summer was showing up last days :-)

Yes yes yes :-)

first day the spot is working...gimmy more, gimmy more more more...

 

I saw the forecast and was more than excited if the spot, I so much wanted to sail again, is gonna working. My last session I had here was now 10 month ago...and it made me go crazy for this wave.

I wanna learn to ride this beautiful thing! 

It supposed to be a windy week but maybe not strong enough and the wind not from the right direction…but be patient and let´s see: I said to myself. So it goes…the first three windy days have been enough to enjoy some nice after work sessions at my new trainings spot but not for the spot I am looking for! Day four of wind…day off…perfecto! The wind pics up and it seems the direction is turning as well. I went for, to check out the place to BE and what I found wasn´t  bad nor good but it had some gently waves, only the wind! Nearly to less. And I hate it, to go out knowing, not beeing enough wind to feel well on my small board. Non off my windsurfing friends had the time to join me and accordingly most of them are not on island right know to give me support weather go or not and none of them here to give me mental support in the water. But don´t worry girl: you know the spot, no big waves and you developed your skills in windsurfing … so easy pgoing! I saw the waves and could not stand the time to be in between. I rigged my biggest old sail and went on my own. Two others riders already outside gave me the savety I need.

 

while waiting for wind playing around with my cam; which has an own will and only works if  IT wants; so no pics again of a water - session; maybe showing the perspective of my meeting friend...  and me already saying  "hello" :-)

Easy…not gliding but enough to come forward to reach the point step by step while getting upwind. Even the low wind jibes worked quit well…two waves…happy...

On a further run to come out again the water so clear, the wind so low, the ride so slow I enjoyed the beautiful colors of the water and took a look around the surface…a little too much!

Suddenly had a get together with an underwater native. I`am always afraid of this moment! 

And yes, I can say: this was the end of my relaxed session…legs and arms shacking, nothing works anymore…most of it my head. Going more and more outside, I was afraid of turning with the low wind. But out here it´s not gonna be better, I had to turn…of course I fell inside! More shacking muscels! Waterstart…fits…fine. Went back upwind, took one more wave and directly went out of the water absolutely running out of energy I quit the session.  

Thx universe! 

Spend my whole night with reprocessing all pictures in my mind of that day.

Day five of wind… finished work and crused again to watch the spot. Much more better than the day before. Bigger waves, more wind, better direction but very gasty on and off.

Some more sailors in the water…good. Fighting with my emotions I managed to go out for an other ride.

Luckyly, because the waves have been awesome to me! Little over “girls”- head- high rolling inside the bay with the shape of the perfect side off wind direction !

I managed a couple more waves than the day before. I still was riding with fear and not relaxed enough to just enjoy and try good turns in the waves. Feeling every single muscle of my upper body I was falling asleep a little sad, still not being brave enough to enjoy these presents of the ocean in the right way.

Next time, hopefully!
