Some random surfing photo's

Epic conditions for already two weeks. Empty line ups. Lots of sun and great temperatures. Christal clear water. Side off / off winds. Totally stokeness!!!!

Empty beaches.

Homemade watershot.

Part of the job.

Now let's get to the beach quickly, cause it's still pumping.......

Our backyard

Some nice shots of our backyard :-P.

Wijk aan zee

Between the Britanny story of David and Winfried, we had some hardcore weather in Holland. Everyone started with 4.7 and that was good. But later on the wind picked up more and more, ending in a full power 4.0 session with bad waves. Luckely Jepe was there to take some nice pictures (www.jepe.nl).

'Mad Max' day

It's hard to keep the blog updated daily because we are far away from modern connections. Even mobile phones usually don't work. At least it's quiet that way, we kinda like it.

After a nice morning walk in a perfect sunny day, we had to work. Covered in wooddust we went for a nice surfing session just around the corner of the workshop. Waves were pumping and uncrowded (pics will follow).

In the evening we were invited for our traditional Reunion spicy curry. Pierre-Yves lived in Reunion for many years but came back to Breiz (must be something good here). The food was perfect, all in all an excellent night. Ending with 'Mad Max'.

Nice dessert.

On the way back Ronja was hanging outside the car on the lookout for 'Mad Max' ;-)

Japanese spies???

Our friends from Brittany showed us this link today:

Spotted on a Japanese blog

Day 4 of sailing

As you may have noticed the last post was in English. This is on special request of our friends in Brittany (as we don't speak Breton we'll have to stick to English).

South wind / sideshore in Kersiguenou. SOS 100 lts and 5.5 firepower....

I was spotted, they think I'm Glenn :-)

Check it out here....

After a while the wind dropped, so we went for lunch in Camaret sur Mer. Nice full wood construction....

Later that day I went for a perfect surfing session. Looks like Africa!!
Wind picked up so I plugged a sail on my surfboard. It works like a dream.

In the evening I went for the green room......

Off course I meant the bottle.... I love my 'Kro'

Tomorrow I will be reunited with one of my maui-buddies. He'll bring me some work......

A rhum a day keeps the doctor away..

The local doctor-healer is called Atao Aman... Great atmosphere and especially a large collection of home made Rhums. All kind of strange-nice tastes. My favorite is the Carambole

Some people tried to claim my favo spot...

En weer wind!

Wakker geworden door de wind. Eerst maar eens een flinke loop met de hond. Tenslotte zijn de dagen hier lang, tot 22.00 te surfen.

Bingo! Weer dikke wind. De Menhir is nog net blijven staan...

Onshore bij LaPalue, dus straks even t hoekie om

Op goulien kwamen weer heerlijke lijnen binnen. Zeker toen het weer eb werd. stijle lange rakkers van 3 m

Erg rustig op het water. meer dan 4 werden het niet. Volop zon. Watertemp is erg goed te doen. heerlijk zomerschoentjes aan.

SOS guppy 100, 5.5 fire power. Later nog even geswitched naar de 6.0

Back home! Morgat

Zaterdag weer even snel naar de haven gegaan, en weerbericht bekeken. Niet mis! lekkere low, dus aardig wat wind en heel wat golven.

vroeg wakker, dit was het uitzicht! schuimkoppen op LaPalue. Eerst eens naar het strand lopen en kijken hoe het er voor staat. richting-golven etc..

Bingo! hele dikke mik!

De levende windmeter gaf aan > full onshore LaPalue, windje 7 en golven over masthoog..

kortom, even om de hoek varen. Goulien. Zuidwest, denk een stevige 6, golven masthoog. side-on..

weapons of choice.. sos 85 en 5.5 firepower om door de branding te komen.

Zeil was te groot, maar had geen zin om om te tuigen. 5je was beter geweest. Voorbij branding knapte t er over.

Tussendoor even snel een pic geschoten. Tja m'n fotograaf is er nog niet.... kom op mattie waar blijf je. volgens de localo's was dit de dag van t jaar..

Superlange lijnen die je in t midden al kon oppakken. turntje of 8.

Owww wat een dag. wat ben ik blij met m'n nieuwe boards. Thanx Sean! Tom, the Firepower is great!, did what it's made for!! It pulled me through the 3/4 meters white foam walls..

Tijd voor de afsluiter van de dag. Eten bij onze locale vrienden. Met z'n allen pizza eten bij Erwan, biertje en Kir erbij.

Ik ben een Happy man!
