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!
