I always dreamt of visiting the oriental world one day and in the last weeks finally my dream came true. The new Planet Windsurf Centre in Dahab at the Swiss Inn Hotel invited us for the Improve your Skills Event. I was really impressed of the egyptian culture and people, always friendly and helpful, more than I had expected. And the Spot, or better the whole variety of Spots with the Lagoon, the Speedy, Baby Bay and the Kamikaze. Perfect for our Instructions and to practise my favourite Discipline, Freestyle. Surprisingly many of our old friends from the Worldcup and Windsurf Instructors like Andre Paskowski, Andy Bubbles Chambers, Simon Hurrey, Laure Treboux, Colin Dixon and many more were ripping at the same time and showing some great Freestyle performances on the super Flat Water. Maybe a little too easy to get ready for the Worldcup Competitions but it just made it soo aesy to learn and improve all new Moves, wow.
But that was not it all. Also the arabic Dance Shows, the old Dahab, Masbat with all the Restaurants and Cafes impressed me quite a lot, and not a single minute i spent thinking about the terrorist attacks earlier this year. We just enjoyed the Cafe in one of the thousand Beachbars and some nice Schishas. All the Police and military around gave a pretty secure feeling. But even more I was impressed by the arabic Dance Shows in the Swiss Inn Hotel, something I never expected, hot Rythm and girls dressed like our venezuelan Samba Dancers but also some traditinal dancing.

In total we had a really good time, lots of wind, though 5 days without wind, but which Spot got 100% the whole year around? Also our event, Improve your Skills, which was one of our Events of the Fanatic Event Tour 2006, brought a lot of Fun. We had to teach from Waterstart to the first Carve Jibes up to first Volcans and Loops almost everything, really nice to see all clients improving so fast, which they just realised at the last nights Video, where we showed a Clip about the whole Event. We hope for a similar succesful Event in 2007.
Thanx so much to Planet Windsurf to bring me here and we will be back in Septembre 2007 for another Event at this place and maybe I will be back just for training, would be really worth it.
