Still In New Zealand, second report Finally now I'm reporting again. Another month I'm gonna be here in the far North of New Zealand. And still I am really enjoying it. We haven't had wind for a while before easter, but easter friday brought the wind back. The windless days we used to see some parts of this beautiful country or we chilled on the beach. Anyway, wind is still better. Where else than in NZ I learned how to sail, it's not like windsurfing but also a really enjoyable sport. Soon I have my last days at Taipa area school here. It was interesting to see another kind of school for a while. My last two years of High School in Switzerland I'll start in August. Till then I hope to have a lot of wind on my lake there and another good time here in Taipa. I'll miss the sea, all the nice kiwis and just the easy life I'm enjoying at the moment. My experience at the windsurfing school are really good and I hope I can come back to NZ soon. I wish u all wind and sun wherever u are. Cya Rahel One of the days with over thirty knots.  All of us windsurfing students enjoyed yacht racing.  One of the flat water spots.  We surf students enjoy the view over the bay after climbing the mountain.  posted by // annamariazollet at 3/28/2005 06:52:00 AM | (0) comments |

Waves in El Yaque! Much wind the last weeks here in El Yaque. We even had to take a break from it one day, to let our hands and muscles rest. A few days ago we even had some waves here. No big ones of course, but up to 1.5 m. Just perfect for forward loop practicing. So after some advice from the guys and Yoli I went out with 3.7 sail and 68 L board and crashed a few tries. But then I came round and waterstarted up!!! I was smiling for the rest of the day and could not think of anything else. I was so excited to practice it more the following day, but the waves and the strong wind was gone then. But at least some more freestyle with 5.0 sail and 86 L board which is what I mostly use here. /Emma Johansson  picture by Christian Petersson posted by Anonymous at 3/26/2005 04:22:00 PM | (0) comments |
