I was so glad to be part of it for my 5th year running, the beautiful island always offers great fun conditions in October! We headed up on Thursday evening from Plymouth, stopping in Bristol for tea to avoid rush hour, then continuing up North through the strangest service station I have visited near Glasgow in which the car park was inundated with a gaggle of geese! We continued to Loch Lomond, spending the night there before continuing to Oban (a ten hour drive without traffic), stopping for an obligatory cooked breakfast as the early morning ferry had moved to the afternoon. (I also decided I needed to buy thermal trousers in Oban!). Well rested compared to previous years' travel, we arrived in Tiree to stay at Ceabhar house on the West of the Island-a perfect place for checking the conditions.<br />
<br />
The first day was light wind, so we surfed in the morning and had a float and ride session in the afternoon. Photos below courtesy of Richard Whitson and Timmy Vowles-thank you!<br />

The second day was spent at Balephuil with windy cross on port tack conditions. We had some fun jumping and riding and spent the whole day competing until dark. I was really pleased to win the first 3 heats of the ladies. <br />

The third day I was exhausted from competiting and staying warm the previous day! We supported the huge (and talented!) Youth and Junior fleets at Crossapol beach whilst they competed in light wind and small waves.<br />
<br />
We had competable conditions again the day after, with a big 10s period swell and offshore wind. In the morning at Balephuil the conditions were light, but they slowly built throughout the day to allow a really fun contest in cross off starboard tack conditions.<br />

For the next few days there was some epic surfing at Balevullin. Big 16s period swell (and a few close outs) landed on the beaches. I was really happy to come joint third in a surf contest, winning some great ale from headline sponsor Windswept Brewery!<br />

The week came to an end by celebrating in the Lodge with a meal and lots of Windswept Ale drunk from my very own silver tankard! I was so elated to win my first ever Tiree Wave Classic event, taking home a prized sword which I was more than smug with after being so close the past few years-can you tell?!<br />

Gwithian and Mexico's a couple of weekends ago was so much fun. I was exhausted after two 3 hour sessions on the water on Saturday! It was awesome to share the session with Steffi and Dominic from Germany who were in Cornwall for a 2 week holiday, only getting conditions for surfing until scoring their last day sailing at Gwithian.

A week later, there were more good conditions. This time I tried Widemouth which I'd only sailed once before. The wind was so light when I went out on 4.7 and 75l I thought I wouldn't even be able to get out back. With the current down wind it was pretty sketchy and hard work, but gradually the gusty wind built a little to a float and ride side shore session.

Life has been hectic with all the travelling and catching up with work, whilst still remaining fit, doing DIY and chasing forecasts! I wouldn't have it any other way...</p>
<p>So after the minimal windsurf training in Chile and Pozo in May, I was pleased to go out for a week before the competition to get used to the strong winds in Pozo. We had a great week of wind and smallish waves, comfortably powered down to 3.4. At the start of the event though unfortunately the waves disappeared whilst the wind came. The forecast at the end of the week looked promising so whilst the fleet waited in anticipation, the forecast slowly reduced in swell as it came nearer. It was a hurricane force ten for the competition by the end of the week, but unfortunately with pretty small waves. Clinging onto a 3m sail that I am glad Ben Proffit's family sent over to me before the event, I managed a clean forward and table top in my heat against multiple World Champ and awesome windsurf ambassador Sarah Quita-Offringa. I couldn't match her style and moves and unsurprisingly went out in the single elimination. Unfortunately due to the lack of swell there was no chance for a double elimination, leaving me joint 9th place with half the fleet. Congratulations to Daida, Sarah and Iballa for coming First, Second and Third respectively! I am always inspired and motivated to improve sailing with a group of girls (and guys) who are driven and are pushing their limits, coming home with new goals. Here are some pictures from Pozo, with thanks to Fish Bowl Diaries, John Carter PWA, Mikael Linder and Kuma Movies:</p>

<p>After Pozo I had to return to work in the UK, and there was absolutely no wind! I swam, crossfit and surfed in-between to be ready for the next event in Tenerife, flying out only a day before due to leave restrictions. I was so happy that the whole week in Tenerife had wind and waves, which for a place so fickle was pretty lucky! I was drawn against Alexa Escherich first then met Iballa in the single elimination, to whom I went out. In the double I met Caro Weber and was really pleased to put together my best heat, winning to meet Amanda. We were both really under-powered at the end of the day and I didn't sail my best, unfortunately going out. I was so happy to go through two heats though leaving me in 9th place overall for the event, and currently 10th in the World until the next few events which I won't be able to attend. The week in Tenerife was awesome though, giving me a chance to improve my jumping and riding. Here are some pics, thanks to John Carter PWA and Stef. </p>

Before I left I was in the life of full time work, fully focused on my job and enjoying it, whilst still trying to fit in Crossfit training, surfing or windsurfing after work (forecast dependent). The Rhosneigr competition and a week training in Pozo with Markus Rydberg from Sweden, took me right back to the emotional state I was in during my Sabbatical when I competed on the World Tour and it re-kindled my passion again to train, compete, and spend time with all the guys on the World Tour, a super driven, fun set of friends. I find it weird how different my split life has become. In Pozo I sail for 2 sessions a day and train on the non windy days, watching windsurfing videos and talking constantly about how to improve and watching others train. Then I come home and wake up at 6am everyday to work as an engineer and find this a completely fulfilling career in which I enjoy going to work and don't even have time at work to think of windsurfing! (Until the end of a windy working day at least!) I am however a water baby and get frustrated when there is a period of no wind or swell in the UK, so have bought fins and taken up sea swimming until the visibility is better for free diving. I also have a new long board for the Summer swells! </p>
<p>Some pictures from Rhosneigr thanks to Si Crowther. A flukey forecast paid off for a windy sail on 4.2 Saturday morning, but the wind quickly dropped to 5.0 and 75l weather, wobbling for the heats and trying to pick off small waves. Still a great fun competition and we managed to visit Snowdon on the Sunday!</p>

<P>I have entered PWA Gran Canaria and am really looking forward to going out again for some training and the competition on Monday. My week's training in May didn't have classic Pozo conditions until the last day, so with no wind in Chile either I had banked on a little more practise! That last day in Pozo did remind me again how windy it gets and the need for a 3m sail, the place is incredible! I have my 63l Simmer custom which was working a treat...I would love to spend a season in Pozo improving my sailing, but unfortunately I will have to live with the training I have had, and will go out to enjoy the sailing, the conditions and seeing all the competitors again! </p>

Instead though, we had the best surfing I have ever had and by focusing on it for two weeks meant not only did my shoulders finally relent to the thousands of paddle strokes, but I actually improved a lot and loved it! The last time I went to Chile, I was far too excited to get in for a surf straight away and managed to go over the falls and knee myself in the face, giving me an almighty black eye (see post <a href="http://sarahk349.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/topocalma-and-pupuya.html">HERE</a>). This actually knocked all my confidence for late barrelling take-offs for quite a while, so I was glad to be back to my usual confidence level for this trip. After checking all the spots we found our favorite, and although the paddle out looks easy, due to the swell angle and humbolt current moving all the water up the beach, it took up to half an hour to paddle out sometimes. The waves were glassy and started at head high at the beginning of the trip, up to head and a half to double by near the end. It was amazing paddling back up to the point with 'noodle' arms watching barrelling perfect wave by wave go past with a Chilean or one of us in each! Here are some pictures:

I sailed or surfed every weekend, had night freestyle sessions after work and taken some leave for good forecasts, effectively buying daylight hours! Just before Christmas we had a great swell on the North Coast, with mast high float and ride, (unfortunately no photos!) then a Chrsitmas Eve session at Marazion, with side shore starboard tack. Here are some photos from sessions recently, Kimmeridge Bay with Cross-on starboard tack, 30-50 knots (a little too windy and gusty for me to try and learn much!) and Daymer Bay, also pretty windy on a 3.7! Lastly Marazion, some great starboard tack jumping! Photos courtesy of my Dad, brother in law and friend Rachel-thanks!

I love enjoying the weather most people hate and are tucked up inside from! We went to Downderry for a cross on/onshore starboard tack session, very gusty on a 4.2 and it was pretty tricky to pick non choppy waves, I had a lot of fun though. Here are a few pics, think I need to improve those donkey kicks! (Poor quality due to poor visibility and failing light!)

This morning we went back for the same again, but the wind wasn't as forecast so we ended up having a barely planing session. After some food we tried again and had a good freestyle session at Torpoint. More wind to come this week!Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-61680826348064424322015-11-11T12:44:00.001-08:002015-11-11T13:07:21.655-08:00Tiree, Cornwall Wave Classic and Autumn turning ON!<p>The British Wavesailing competition in Tiree this year was unfortunately not very windy with high pressures over Tiree for the whole week. This did mean however it was the warmest its ever been (I've been about 4-5 times) and the weather was gorgeous! On the last two days the sea was mirror flat which was amazing to see on an exposed Scottish Island! Of course as soon as we left on the Saturday to get back to work, the next week was firing...</p>

<p>During the week we did manage a competition day, with very light cross/cross-on conditions, port tack at The Maze. I was on 5.0 and an 80 litre board-big equipment for me! The girls had 5 heats, Sara Kellett won the first two with me in second, then I got the next two so the pressure was on for the final heat! The wind really dropped off and Sara clinched the win in a pretty close heat! I didn't get any photos of me, so here is one of Sara's waves:</p>

The rest of the week involved lots of surfing at Ballevullin which was great fun, shoulder to head high waves and clean. We also did some gorge walking at Balephuil and some freediving, the last session at Balephetrish with about 30 curious seals! They didn't get close enough for me to get a picture but it was an incredible feeling anticipating the next sighting and seeing them swim so effortlessly underwater!

The Cornwall Wave Classic at Gwithian had great conditions on Friday for the Pro Men's competition, if a little offshore. It was the first down the line session of the Autumn, so all the competitors had taken Friday afternoon off to sail! Here are a couple of photos of the Pro guys:

The Saturday and Sunday had no wind, but really good clean swell so I made the most of surfing all weekend! Here is a photo of Ben Proffit surfing, and the trophies event organiser Ian Ross got made-I guess these will have to wait for next year!

Having only had a competition in Tiree, Sara won the British title this year, with me in second and Rachel Ince in third. Lets see if I can win it back next year!

Now the clocks have changed and it is dark after work, Autumn seems to have turned on, with lots of wind and swell heading our way! Lets hope there is some truth in this!

I can't believe how busy I have been since returning to work! Just a few things that have happened then recently, to keep it brief! Went back to work as an engineer full time, bought a house, surfed, refurbished a kitchen, free dived, planned a wedding, went to crossfit, changed my job role, windsurfed, got married, and went to Mauritius. I have been windsurfing, but haven't many pictures as the winter was dark, cold and rainy! Here are a few though, none from the most memorable session at Mexico's one of my favorite beaches, but a similar session at the Bluff below another day. I love wave sailing!</p>

<p>I have also been doing a little free diving to help with breath holds and big wave confidence. It is still quite cold in a 5.4mm suit as it is a surf suit and you don't generate any heat when free-diving as you try to relax, so I might purchase a closed cell diving suit. I had the bonus of seeing crabs and jellyfish and even finding a great fishing reel! </p>

I also had the best two weeks of my life this year, getting married to Stef and spending our honeymoon in Mauritius. The wedding was incredible, in a place so close to our hearts at Whitsands beach, where we surf, windsurf and fish all year round. The weather turned out to be perfect, if a little windy, (appropriate for us both!) after weather warnings and torrential rain the day before! Here are a selection of our favorite photos, from Emma Latham at Freckle Photography <a href="http://www.frecklephotography.co.uk/portfolio/">HERE</a>(she comes highly recommended!):

Now having just seen the live stream to the first PWA Wave event of the year in Gran Canaria, I am feeling a little sad not to be involved, and am desperate to sail back in Pozo! Ben's Pozo diaries and everyone's updates remind me how hard I trained and improved last year and all the friends I made. I am really driven to improve after seeing all the sailors competing, I just need some conditions! I hope I can manage to to an event this year, if not then concentrate on next year's as there is also the British Tour to support too, and Tiree was so much fun last year! I'll keep training for now and see where this leads me...Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-70503909664423245392015-01-19T13:09:00.000-08:002015-01-19T13:24:45.452-08:00Back to Real Life...<P>'Settling down'. By that I mean having our stuff in one place for more than a month! I thought I'd write about how it is to be back at work again after having 14 months following my dreams, it has to be kind of a let down right? Funnily enough, I was initially concerned that I wouldn't want to come back after traveling, and that coming back to work would be terrible, I'd want to leave the UK and find a job somewhere hot. But actually, from about half way through my time off and onwards, I came to the realisation that home, friends, family, windsurfing and surfing in Devon and Cornwall, Crossfit Plymouth and my career, is a pretty nice way of life, and there aren't many other places (none in fact that we would definitely want to move to right now) that have a better balance for us, than what we have here. </p>
<P>People asked if I was looking forward to returning to work, and actually, strangely I was. Not for the early mornings-I'm terrible at getting up, and most definitely not for the leave! But for the mental challenge, variety, rewards and relationships work can bring, the achievement of developing my career, and the stability of having a steady income as living on a tight budget like we had to all the time gets tiring... but also what I think you take for-granted if you don't travel a lot, is the stability and routine you get from being in one place and having a house to live in! </p>
<P>My 14 month sabbatical has been amazing, I am so lucky to see the places I have been, met the people I have met, compete on a World Tour in the sport I love the most, had the money and time to do this and been secure in my job to come back to it. If windsurfing was a bigger sport, I think I would love to do it full time for a while, and push my level to see how far I could get, (but perhaps I wouldn't be so near the top?!) or perhaps if I had different circumstances or choices with my career I would too, but at the moment I count myself lucky I was able to do what I did at all, and I am enjoying the challenge work brings me!</p>
<P>Would I do it full time? I think not in my current situation, firstly it isn't sustainable at the level I am currently, so I would have to work a lot on the side in probably jobs I wouldn't appreciate, or rather that I have already spent much time doing outside of my professional role, but if I could get the funding to give it a go I would love the challenge to become a full time pro and see how good I could get. Ideally, working flexibly in a professional role is probably the ideal goal, like Stef does.</p>
<P>Actually, windsurfing on the side of working full time, although almighty frustrating, especially in the UK, makes those sessions that are good like gold dust and you are on top of the World when you score one. Getting something you can't have all the time makes it better, and I may loose the love a little if I windsurfed full time for years to come. (I am going to regret this when there isn't any wind for months at home!). My ideal balance would be to work full time but have more than 5 weeks leave per year, to train hard and still compete. I loved the challenge of competing and sailing against like-minded girls, and I think I won't be able to continue this at the level I was with my current leave. I would also like to add that the grass isn't always greener, (though it does take some exploring to realise this!), and to appreciate and make the most of everything you have!</p>
<P>So what are my goals this year? To continue to train as hard as I can in windsurf, surf and Crossfit around work (I almost never miss a forecast!); continue apnea training for breath holds, free-diving in the Summer months to help water confidence; start gymnastic training for my jumping; improve my big wave sailing, by exploring the UK's outer reefs hopefully; and lastly, use every bit of leave I can to travel to the World's best wave spots to train and compete where possible! All this is possible with the help of my sponsors: NoLimitz masts, PuravidaBoardriders, K4 fins, Simmer style and C-Skins wetsuits-thank you all so much! </p>
<P>Wow...I am going to be busy!</p>
<p>I haven't got any shots of my recent sessions, mainly because they were in the dark, or it was raining, or we had a 15 minute cliff walk with gear so didn't fancy carrying a camera too! It should get easier to get pics as the light gets better and we have more time! Here are some pictures from a trip to Tintagel late last year with our families. Some great spearfishing territory to explore next Summer I think!</p>

And an unexpected trip there too as we only booked a few weeks before in Sylt once the PWA event had been confirmed. I didn't think I would be going back there for a long time, as we had been planning on going to Chile to finish the year, but this will have to wait until I have saved more pennies! Maui as always was incredible and I was so happy to meet all the AWT girls and locals who I hadn't met before. Living in a house of 6 girls (plus lucky-or unlucky?! Stef) was really fun and there were a few celebratory parties-one for Thomas Travesa who won the World title this year and also for the closing ceremony for the PWA and AWT. </p>
<p>Here are a couple more pictures from the Aloha Classic from John Carter, such a blue face to carve up on that wave!</p>

<p>So I am pretty happy to say I am 7th in the World this year! My goal was to be top ten, so I am happy I have achieved this. I didn't get my best result in Maui, but I think from competition you have always gained something, no matter where you come you learn about things you can improve. For Maui, I need a lot more time on cross-off starboard tack, I haven't spent very long riding there at all. I have learnt where I need to improve my riding skills, mostly in my top turn and aerials and also that it is most important to just have fun on the water-which I did! It's also a good lesson to learn that competition sailing (especially for me) is so different to my normal style of go for more, normally crash more. The first heats at Ho'okipa were on a bigger day so it forced me to be more controlled and safer in my riding, to the detriment of my style a little. I need to spend a fair amount of time making my normal style more consistent so that I know I can make it 95% of the time and then I will start to do better!</p>
<p>I would love to keep competing and I think with more training, I could do better again next year, but I go back to full time work in January and also I am lucky enough to be getting married next June! So I am not sure how many PWA competitions I can do next year...we will see! For now though, I am going to focus on windsurfing and surfing as much as I can in Cornwall until Christmas, keep training in Crossfit, swimming and breath holds, and see where this gets me! I would love to do some more big wave surfing and windsurfing, so we will see what the UK Winter brings! </p>
<p>Here are some other pictures we took, from a snorkel boat trip:</p>

At the PWA closing ceremony we were lucky enough to see the premiere of the RedBull Storm Chase movie. It was amazing! So inspiring and absolutely crazy too! It reinforced my love of the UK and cold water windsurfing too, as Steffi Wahl said-my heart beats for Europe! I am hoping for some good conditions this Winter, I hope Cornwall delivers!Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-39846664275669846162014-11-04T23:10:00.000-08:002014-11-04T23:12:10.356-08:00PWA Maui-The Aloha Classic!<p>I have been here in Maui for about two weeks now, and we have had pretty amazing conditions for the last stop of the World Tour! I had about a week before the event to practise at Ho'okipa, with small waves mostly, a good warm-up for cross-off starboard tack, something I don't get to practise all that often. I will let the pictures do the talking, as there are loads! Here are some shots from the very Hawaiian, amazing opening ceremony, all from talented photographers: Fishbowl diaries, John Carter from the PWA and of course local Jimmie Hepp. Thanks so much for all the pictures!</p>

<p>So into the heats! A nice swell came for the start of the PWA heats, in which they ran the men on the first day, something I was slightly glad of, not because of the size of the waves, but more the flukey wind that day which meant even the best guys were making it look hard to get out! The second day still had some nice logo to mast sets coming through, some even bigger, fantastic conditions for the competition! The wind was still really light and I narrowly escaped the rocks twice during launching, with some good swimming and maybe a little help from the jet ski guys too-my gear savers!!</p>

<p>So in summary, heat 1 in the single was against Maria Andres, Iballa Moreno and Jessica Crisp. I played it safe, perhaps too much so, getting some nice waves but nothing too radical and perhaps only one bigger set wave, making sure I didn't end up on the inside with a set coming. I didn't pass through this heat unfortunately, with Jessica and Iballa going through. In the double, I had Daida, Sarah Quita Offringa and local ripper Ingrid Larouche. I made a mistake on my first wave costing me a lot of time swimming, then got a few waves afterwards but I think I panicked with the time left and didn't wait long enough to get back up wind and catch a good set wave! I also realised only yesterday that my last wave was outside the heat time, so didn't count at all-I definitely need a heat timer watch rather than a stopwatch!! Anyway, it was all a learning curve and there were so many talented girls here ripping and spending a lot of tme at Ho'okipa that I didn't really expect to do that well. I am privileged that I entered, was able to sail with only 3 other girls on the water and have learnt what I need to improve here (powerful top turns especially!). Huge congratulations to Iballa Moreno for winning the single elimination proving she is a master of both tacks! The double is yet to finish so we will see if she can hold onto the win against local Fiona Wylde!</p>
<p>The men here were amazing to watch and such an inspiration. The single final with Thomas, Victor, Marcillo and Morgan was unbelievable! The double final is yet to come! It was also great to meet all the AWT and PWA girls here which hadn't made it to Europe. There are a lot of talented windsurf girls, Junko and Sarah Hauser to name a couple, so it was great to meet them and share a tea party with them organised by the one and only Sam Bittner! Thanks!</p>

When we arrived, the middle of a low was sat right over us giving calm conditions, sunshine (mostly) and no waves. This was not what we wanted, but we made the most of it and actually had a great few days exploring the island, seeing the lighthouse exhibition, spotting seals, paddling with porpoises, coasteering, teaching windsurfing, trying my very best to slackline and also go running!</p>
<p>Here are some pictures of our slackline adventures. Needless to say, Sara was the expert, full respect to her walking that high line! </p>

<p>The competition itself had great conditions, and the ladies had 8 rounds run! The first day was much like the PWA conditions had been, cross on port tack with small waves. I was on 4.7 but it was up and down and I struggled to get good jumps (2 waves, 2 jumps to count), and struggled to pick a good wave. Justyna smashed it though landing a backloop and some forwards so she was leading after the first day! The next day was more my style of conditions with bigger waves at Balephuil. I really enjoyed myself, getting some nice rides and hits and landing my forwards. I won 2 of the heats and came second in the third. Both Justyna and Sara were great competition and it was a good competition throughout, with Sara also scoring some great wave rides! So overall I was second, I'll post a podium picture when I have one! Here are some action shots courtesy of Dave White. </p>

There was also a day 3 of competition at the Maze, but us ladies chose to free-sail rather than have more heats after our 8! I had a fun little surf in the morning and a late evening session with only Sara and I!

After most people had left on the Saturday morning ferry, Stef and I sailed the Maze again, but it was gusty and rippy with very tricky waves to read, and a very long walk home! Still pretty fun though, and our friend Rachel Knott become camera woman for the day after we had taught her on the loch-thank you!

Saturday night was stormy! Our sailing was at 1300 on Sunday, so we squeezed in a session at Crossapol, a rare starboard tack day, sideshore and well powered on 4.2. I had a great session, so much fun! My little custom was perfect!

While we were on Tiree, we taught our friend Rachel Knott to windsurf. In 3 sessions, the last in a force 6, she got planing and beach starting, and has well and truely got the windsurfing bug! Thanks to Black Diamond for lending the board and Bubble for lending the inflatable SUP!

After waiting all week for wind, there was wind on the horizon on the second last day. We were up at 6am to make the most of the day, but as it was SE direction (cross off), there wasn't enough waves to run the wave competition. The freestyle guys had a whole double elimination though, sailing for hours about a kilometre off shore to get the clean wind! I am really looking forward to being able to afford a freestyle board to go out when the wind is light and practise! The week was enjoyable though, lots of catching up with friends, feeling famous when people ask you for autographs and pictures, and also some fun SUP competitions!

I entered the SUP race with dream slalom and SUP team Antoine Albeau, Cedric Bordes and Julien Quentel. The first day went well, out and back around the buoy, advancing to the top 6 teams to compete in the final the following day. It was hard work! The next day I was determined to do better, but with my limited SUP ability I fell on trying to get over the waves (you had to stand), and I lost hold of the board, so with no leash had to swim all the way back in to start paddling out again! This happened twice and on the second time the rip took me down the beach... I lost too much time so forfeited my team's chance on winning-I felt terrible. Anyway, it would be cool to do it again after I have more practise on SUPing without a leash! Being the first heat I hadn't learnt that holding the board was of the upmost importance!! The next day a windSUP race was run but I unfotunately missed the registration so couldn't compete. I loved these little fitness team challenges!

On Thursday I am off to Tiree in Scotland (the outermost of the inner hebrides!) for the annual BWA wave competition. It is a 12 hour drive plus 4 hour ferry, taking me to this beautiful island with beaches to catch swell and wind in all directions! Hopefully we will get some good windsurfing and surfing there!

Klitmoller was a really cool place, with landscape quite like Cornwall (long sandy beaches and grassy flat land), and nice Danish houses with a few cafe's and two surf shops. The beach is more rock reef at Klitmoller and sandier at Hanstholm, both picking up wind swell pretty easily due to the shallow North sea. Unfortunately we didn't have too much wind while we were in Denmark, and the competition for the men only just managed to squeeze in a single elimination on the last day, sailing until dark. I have a few sessions on 5.0 and 75l out here, onshore starboard and port tack and cross off at Klitmoller one time too. The only windy day was the day straight after the competition in which Stef and I sailed Klitmoller looking a bit like a small storm chase, cold, stormy, messy and onshore! There were some meaty logo high waves dumping too which actually made it more scary than a mast high down the line session as it was unpredictable and grey! I tried my new custom which felt awesome to sail along, smooth and controlled, but can't say I have had a real wave riding session to test it yet! In the afternoon I sailed bunkers which was more side shore and the spot I should have sailed all along! Very fun but the wind died almost immediately... Here are some pictures Justyna took:

I also have some pictures of van life, I love the flexibility our van gives us and how cosy it is when its dark and raining outside! Luckily we have managed to grab showers at Ben and Justyna's place so we weren't too smelly! Some of these are Hanstholm and some at Bunkers. The one with the large gun is when we visted the bunker museum at Hantsholm, it was really interesting and quite incredible the size of the gun there, it could fire 50km with a 38cm shell, about 2-3 minutes airtime!

Now we are in Sylt which looks like an incredibly organised event! There are thousands of people, loads of sponsor tents, parties for the crowd every night and with freestyle, slalom and wave disciplines, really interesting to watch too. A few wave heats and slalom have been run but there hasn't been too much wind. The wave heats were in light dead onshore wind, really challenging conditions! We are hoping for the low pressure dancing around us to settle so we can have wind later this week! These pictures are from John Carter from the PWA.

It was actually quite relaxing as after being ripped of for our dinner on the ferry in Danish Krona, we had a cabin to sleep and watch movies all the way. Arriving in Denmark was cool, we saw seals sunbathing on the sand bars and once in Denmark, decided quickly that we didn't have any money for tolls and didn't know the Danish for cash point. We found one soon enough and after working out that we need a clock in our dashboard to park anywhere in town (which we still haven't bought actually...?) we left on our 2 hour drive to Grenaa for the ferry to Sweden. On the way we found Legoland which was free to enter after 5.30pm so we had a great trip looking round the lego villages in torrential rain!

A dark and rainy journey followed to get to Grenna and we boarded the 5 hour ferry to Varberg, sleeping on the chairs all the way. We arrived in Varberg at 6am and went to Markus and Emma's place. It was a lovely town, I liked how all the houses were different Swedish style in wood, lots were open plan and the city was clean and had lots of cafes for Fika! (coffee and cake!) That day we had a look round Varberg, had Swedish pizza (with kebab meat and cabbage side), and managed to get a late evening sail in at A bay when the wind came in as gusty 4.7 weather.

The rest of the week wasn't windy unfortunately, but Markus and Emma showed us lots of Swedish traditions, (mostly food based!) like Kaviar with egg (I didn't like this), pickled herring with potatos and egg and creme fraiche, this was yummy! Swedish meatballs and lingonberry jam-yum! Better than Ikea! We also had a lot of Fika which is coffee and cake, or quite often a cinnamon Swedish bun, very tasty!!

Activity wise Stef and I experienced our first Swedish crossfit session as Markus went for a taster, it was good to get back into lifting again!

We also had free reign of the ice rink on proper ice hockey skates which were harder than the English flat bottomed blades. I had only ever skated in a rink where you skate in circles anticlockwise with a hundred other people, so skating right, spinning and going backwards was a novelty!

I guess the highlight and strangest thing of the week was the Swedish Kraftskiva party, which is an annual crayfish and schnapps party! There was more crayfish than I have ever seen in my life and more than I have ever eaten too. We played a game outside throwing wooden posts to hit each others before hitting the central 'King', then went inside to eat lots of crayfish intermittent with songs sang in Swedish and English about crayfish and drinking and shouting lots of SKOL!! (Cheers!) A funny night.

I loved Sweden and would love to come back on a windier forecast! Thanks to Markus and Emma for having us!

Our last week in Tenerife had a great forecast, but unfortunately I never had a really great session. Tenerife was really gusty so it was so hard to pick the right sail! One morning was blowing 50-60 knots and was survival sailing on 3.4 (I should have kept the 3m from Pozo!), then in the afternoon I went on 3.4 again but the wind died, after I had convinced Stef to film too! I also snapped a mast on one session so all in all a little frustrating, but still good to be on the water! Here are a few stills from the last couple of sessions:

Other than the last two sessions Stef filmed, I didn't get much dedicated filming as we all wanted to sail! I managed to get some clips from Ben and Justyna though when they were filming for the diaries, so I put together a little edit of my time in the Canaries. I hope you like it!

Alfie Hart from Boards also did a great edit of all the British action in Tenerife, the men first then ladies towards the end. There will be a female only podcast coming soon too in which Justyna and I commentated, I'm looking forward to seeing that! Here is the British one for now!

In other exciting news,I have a Simmer custom coming my way! It is a 63l 'compactifly' quad, designed by Ola Helenius the Simmer shaper. It's designed to sit a bit lower in the water than the Simmer production Fly (my 69l) and have a slightly tighter turn but still be stable through chop. Ola said it has been tested with all sorts of fin setups and a traditional quad setup simply is the most all round, and my preferred ride. It's still possible to sail it as a twin for a bit more "free" ride or a quad with big front fin for more drive. I am so excited to get this board, as being 59kg, I have felt in many sessions I have just been over-boarded, so can't wait to try this! Here are some pictures of the shape versus my 69l Flywave, and the foam core:

Last but not least, C-Skins have sent me a super-duper new 5.4.3mm Wired winter suit! I tried it on in the garden (as you do), and was absolutely boiling as it has the fire core (blankety type) inner which is really warm and dries quickly. I have been impressed from before I was even sponsored by C-Skins on their suits and especially the female range, as being a smaller market, some companies skimp on the designs and quality for ladies. C-Skins have not and this is one of the warmest suits out there! So take a look at the winter range on the<a href="http://www.c-skins.com/europe/"> C-Skins site here</a>

On Saturday, Stef and I pack our van and take a 20 hour ferry to Denmark, and another to Sweden to start our Euro road trip, exciting times!Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-75377122960564548752014-08-12T09:01:00.001-07:002014-08-13T06:30:48.239-07:00PWA Tenerife, 13th place!I have been in Tenerife for about 3 weeks now, and have to say its a really fun spot when there are good conditions! Our first week didn't have much wind or waves, but two days into the contest, we had some really nice conditions, and this week (I have 4 more days) is looking epic! El Medano is a lively town, there are lots of bars and shops with a more Spanish feel rather than some tacky resorts like elsewhere in the Canaries. It is always busy too, with lots more nightlife than Pozo! Here is an aerial picture from Ricardo's drone of the event site and a morning picture from John Carter at the PWA:

There were 22 girls registered for this event, a great turnout and even 3 British chicks! The day before the event started, all the competitors marched though the town with a drumming band, waving their country's flag's, before meeting in the centre of town and being called onto the stage for the official opening. This was awesome and such a great way to start the event and let the whole town know we were there! On Monday morning we registered and stickered up all our sails. The single draw is below, I had Montse Collado in my first heat.

The forecast looked good from Wednesday to Friday, but the judges decided to run straight away (and rightfully so incase the forecast was to dissappear). The Juniors were up first, followed by the ladies. My heat against Montse was run in pretty light winds and little waves, but I still managed to get my jumps in and some wave rides, pumping into my first forward! I was pretty happy to win this heat but I then had Steffi Wahl in my second heat who was 3rd in Pozo. Here are some photos from my first heat...

So first round of ladies over, we went straight into the second round where I was up against Steffi. The wind and waves dropped in this heat and I really couldn't get going. I didn't find any good waves or a bigger forward despite seeing her land one and in the end she had the edge and some good riding put her through. Steffi climbed all the way up to 4th in the single elimination, with Amanda 3rd, Daida 2nd and Iballa 1st.

The double elimination had much better conditions with waves and feeling powered! My first heat was against Alice Arutkin who had missed the single elimination due to missing her flight. Alice is again a very experienced competitor and won on both waves and jumps, with her table top scoring more than my forward, and some nice wave rides. I confirmed as I feared before this competition that I wasn't consistent enough on my wave rides, going more for broke with bigger hits that I only sometimes land rather than a safer competition style of riding, so I definitely need to improve on that! Alice went through 4 heats in the double to finish 6th overall, well done! This meant I came 13th overall, which with Pozo leaves me 11th in the World so far, with my goal to be top ten!

The double elimination had great conditions to finish the competition, with standout sailors (for me) being Sarah Quita Offringa, who as previously un-ranked, climbed 8 heats in the double and came 3rd place, and Victor Fernandez and Thomas Traversa for their style and consistency, (coming 3rd and 2nd respectively).

After the competition a Super Session was run, giving 20 minutes to score your one best jump. Originally this wasn't for women (Men and Juniors only-don't ask me why...), but as there were a few girls wanting to participate on the beach, a heat was run. I was actually pretty scared as I prefer riding to jumping and didn't actually realise it was a jump contest when I signed up! The conditions had backed down a little and I took a 4.7, but with the current and the weed it felt terrible, very pull-ey! Anyway, us girls had a great time, and I went for several backloops, landed a table top and a forward and tried my first stalled forward, landing on my back which I was happy with! I came joint 3rd after Justyna winning with a couple of landed backloops and forwards and Amanda with some pushloop crashes.

For winning this, Justyna got to have a go at the tow in windsurf jump session at Siam Park. Only the top men got to compete but it was sick to see her getting towed into the ramp! Hopefully if there can be more sponsors for the event girl's can be included next time! Here is an edit Markus and Gustav did of the session, it's amazing!

Finally, a couple of shots from general sailing in Tenerife! I am hoping to make a video from the Canaries, but its very hard to get someone to sit on the beach and film!

I guess you have read and seen a lot about the Pozo World competition week already, so I'll summarise my view. It was great to meet all the girls (16 entries) for the competition, girls like Olya, Sarah Quita Offringa and Steffi Wahl who I had heard and seen about but never met, were really nice and I really enjoyed the team spirit between all of us despite the fact we were competing against each other! It was great to sail with all the girls! </p>

<p>As the conditions weren't too great (wind but very little in the way of waves), there was a lot of waiting around to be called for our heats, but the event organisation by Daida and Iballa was spot on, with the event tent giving us food and drinks and the competitors area with comfy beanbags sheltering us from the wind while we watched the sailing! My parents came to watch so it was a shame it wasn't classic Pozo as I had built it up to be, with super windy conditions and waves, but there were still some breathtaking moments and the excitement of some interesting knockouts, and stalled double forwards from Koster and Browne! I don't think my parents would have enjoyed 3m weather Pozo if it had been that windy so perhaps it was a blessing in disguise!</p>

<p>So my training up to the event I was really happy with, my forwards were pretty consistent, sideways and mostly dry (but not the biggest), tabletops getting better if I could find the right ramp and wave riding better too. My heat almost went ahead twice before the real heat, with Justyna versus Olya and me versus Steffi. The second time round our whole heat was run, 14 minutes with 1 wave to count and two jumps, the red flag went up, and then it was cancelled afterwards. This was a bit of a let down as I think I sailed a good heat, with a nice clean forward, tabletop and a good wave at the bunker. The conditions weren't great and I think there was some problems with the judging and the live scores, so this heat was binned.</p>

<p>The next and 'real' ladies heat was a day or two after, the same criteria and I don't think the conditions were any better. I went on 3.7 as I was powered up just before, but the wind must have dropped a little during our heat as all the girls were underpowered. This made it really hard to get a clean forward, and the waves were small!! Justyna and Steffi took the win on this one, I think I was 1.3 points behind overall, winning on jumps but lacking a good scoring wave.</p>

<p>So I am out! Lack of conditions meant only a single elimination was run, (which runs tops seeds against lowest seeds) so half the fleet in mens and ladies comes joint last. With a double elimination there would have been a ladder to work your way up. It was a real shame after all that training I didn't have a chance to fight my way back up the double. For the guys this means a lot of the higher seed rankings now are in the trials for Tenerife, so they will be seeded against the top seeds, causing a bit of a stir as they have lost their hard earnt ranking over many years!</p>
<p>I have to say I was super impressed with all the sailors especially the top guys and girls making the conditions look so easy! It was really inspiring.</p>
<p>With 23 girls entered for Tenerife I really hope we get good conditions to compete. I am currently sat in my apartment with no wind outside and little waves-come on Cabezo!!</p>
<p>All the photographs are either from Jose Pina, Fishbowl Diaries, Si Crowther, John Carter or myself, so thanks to those guys for doing a great job and capturing the action!</p>Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-46082881484305622552014-07-06T06:27:00.000-07:002014-07-06T06:27:17.796-07:00A Week Tomorrow...First PWA Event!<p>A week tomorrow is the first PWA wave event of the year in Gran Canaria, with 17 female entries-that's a lot! See the entries <a href="http://www.pwaworldtour.com/index.php?id=192&tx_pwaevent_pi1[showUid]=221&cHash=7bcb75741000fda1ffd4cc8c598a30d0">HERE</a> </p>
<p>Training has been going fairly well, I have been sailing everyday for the past two weeks or so, 3-4 hours a day in 2 sessions. The past two days had light wind and no waves, so I took them off, having a rest day and a crossfit style workout day with a run. Today the wind is back, and I was fully stacked on a 3.4, I don't think it was even meant to be that windy today?!</p>
<p>I have been practising my wave riding a lot, and trying to learn from Miss Consistent Justyna Sniady! I find it quite hard here to control the power, needing to do really tight turns and not end up clew first for very long. This is quite different to my training in Chile where it was still onshore, but as it was a lot less windy I could really pick where I wanted to hit and not worry about everything exploding with the power! I am getting a lot better, until I get stacked then everything seems to go wrong again! I hope the heat isn't mentally windy...So here are some pics of mainly top turns, some good some bad, its interesting to see the hand and sail positions. I know to move the back hand back right to the harness lines but any more tips people can give me about controlling the power please comment! A couple of these pictures are from Territorio Comanche-thank you!</p>

<p>Jumping is also hard to practise if I am stacked and bumping all over the place! But fun if I am nicely powered. Here is a straight jump when I was stacked on a 3m sail, and a pushloop crash when I was stacked on a 3.4! </p>

<p>The event tents and cabins have started to arrive, and a cool graffiti art picture is being painted on the entrance to Pozo. Its quite exciting but I am pretty nervous, as I know that sometimes I can sail pretty well, but if it is howling I am going to struggle....urrrrrrr!!! Until next time! </p>Sarah Bibby - K349http://www.blogger.com/profile/15893217539568472058noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325266137847358205.post-52448866001444322012014-06-25T07:40:00.000-07:002014-06-25T07:42:32.339-07:00The wind is here! Pozo Izquierdo...<p>So I have been in Pozo for just over a week now and it has been perhaps a little unusual, with not much wind for the first week! I surfed a couple of times on the North Coast, and have sailed Vargas twice and Ojos de Garza. It has been pretty flat but I have been working on my forward technique, trying to get them really sideways so when I am overpowered I don't go endo! Here are a couple of go pro shots:</p>

<p>Now the wind has returned to Pozo, it is 3.4 to 3.7 weather absolutely full power and due to get windier, I forgot how full on this place is! It takes all you have to control your sailing. </p>
<p>Back in the UK we didn't have any wind, but did have a nice wakeboard session in Oxford when I visited a friend. It was a bridesmaid present from her wedding last year, thanks Rach! Beautiful weather and a lot of fun!</p>

<p>As promised, the girl's sailing in Maui video is also up! It had a premier at one of the American Windsurf Tour events, and has done really well promotion wise! This features a few of the top windsurfing girl's but there will be more episodes with the girl's that missed this one, so stay tuned!</p>
<p>Here are a couple of photos from Si Crowther of the premier and Carolina, Sarah and Sam who feature in it along with myself and some other girls!</p>

I have been working and training too (though admittedly only for 3 week periods..!). I signed up with 2 agencies to get the most work possible over the 3 weeks and have been working as a waitress at various hotels and events, a receptionist and a kitchen porter. I have been a KP before but this was worse, a 9 hour straight shift of soggy rubber glove hands scouring the worst dirty pans all day. Glad that's over!</p>

<p>In-between shifts it is really important I keep my fitness up, as I realised in Ireland, heat sailing is tiring and you need all the help you can get not to feel tired in Pozo, 2 sessions a day every day and you are shattered! There hasn't been any wind on the South Coast (I'm back in Surrey), for a while now that has coincided with a weekend, so for anyone interested, here is the training plan I have been using as I haven't been able to afford a gym.</p>
<p>Mix these up training every day if possible:</p>
<p><b>Anaerobic swim training.</b> Warm up 10 lengths, then do 4x sets of 4x 25m lengths breathing every 5th stroke, with a minutes rest between each set. Repeat again breathing every 7th stroke (this gets hard!). Then swim one length underwater and breaststroke back, minutes rest, all x10. Swim 10 lengths front-crawl to finish.</p>
<p><b>Running.</b> I have about a 3-4 mile loop I do as fast as possible.</p>
<p><b>Cycling.</b> I normally cycle a relatively traffic free 11-12 mile loop with lots of nasty hills to simulate fartlek training.</p>

<p><b>
Crossfit body weight workout. 5 rounds of:</b>
20 squats,
10 hand release press ups,
20 flutter-kicks,
2 wall walks,
10 tricep dips,
1 hill sprint, jog back.</p>
<p>I have also just ordered some TRX suspension bands (a cheap copy version though!) which are fairly new to me, but seem to be a great idea for a travelling work out and strength work for shoulders and core, I look forward to trying them!</p>

<p>This week I had some fun trying to book our kit onto our Thomas Cook Airline flight to the Canaries, who I have flown with many times before with numerous bags! This time however they said they had changed their policy and would only allow one bag per person, charging £15 per kilo for an extra bag (which would be near on £450!). It didn't say this anywhere on their website or the terms and conditions and after much arguing on skype a salesperson finally admitted that they had a more current version of the T&Cs which weren't on their website. I was pretty glad she admitted this on the phone and after nervous waiting and asking to speak to their manager, they rung back nice as pie and booked all my bags on! There was a lot of stress and skype credit, as the flights were 100% non refundable yet I knew I was in the right! So beware, check the T&Cs and make sure you can take all your gear on the flight! They said they would update their website shortly.</p>
<p>So my rant and warning advice is over! Soon I will get back to windsurfing, one more week and I'll be in Pozo! And if you want to check out my top 5 reasons why I windsurf, have a look <a href="http://boards.mpora.com/basics/why-i-windsurf.html">HERE</a>

Check out their site <a href="http://www.pigdogsurfcamp.com/home">HERE!</a> Its a great place away from the normal tourist areas of Portugal with great, uncrowded waves to play on. The surf trip was with some friends from Plymouth, about 8 of us in the end. It was great fun, lots of banter and warm, sunny weather too! The waves were pretty small however, we only had 2 days of headish plus, the rest fairly small. We did surf El Point though, more of a reef breaking barrelly wave compared to Bathtubs, our normal fairly soft spot. It gave me some good practise at taking off late and taking a few good wipeouts! Great fun though, I improved my pumping and my backside riding a fair bit! Here are some photos from the last day (we were pretty bad at getting the camera out for the bigger days!).

After Portugal, Stef and I left the surf camp at 2am to drive to Lisbon, fly back to Surrey, drive to West Wales and catch a 2am ferry to Rosslare, then drive 5 hours to Brandon Bay for the British Windsurf competition, what a mission! The forecast looked terrible, no wind and not many waves. We had committed anyway and drove the distance to beautiful Brandon Bay.

Monday was the windiest day and the pros were run at Hells Gate, but cancelled shortly after due to lack of wind. We had some fun shorey surfing later in the week, and drove through the Connor pass in the mountains, taking a walk round a lake and to another peak, I forgot how beautiful it is here!

Phil Horrocks hosted a BBQ at his house on the Thursday night, perhaps tatically getting everyone drunk the night before the competition was held on Friday!

The competition was on for all fleets at Gowlane, with cross off port tack riding, 2 waves to count. The wind was gusty and light, and the waves about knee to shoulder-not my best kind of riding! I took Stef's 75l Flywave and the 5.0 Icon for the competition-my first error, as I hadn't ever sailed his board before. My heat was against Sara Kellet and Justyna Sniady, both great competitors and doing well on the tour. I got some ok waves and some nice turns, but seemed to overcook them and crash a lot, the fins kept breaking out and I couldn't recover them. I also wasn't used to such small powerless waves, coming off the back of a fair few. I was out of the first round disappointingly. Here are some photos from event photographer Si Crowther (the good ones!) and some from our own camera (on the wrong setting by the looks of it!):

I should have changed equipment, I knew I wasn't used to Stef's board or riding G10 fins compared to K4's, which I find far more recoverable. Instead I stuck with what I had, thinking the wind was flukey and the extra volume would help. I then sailed against Ping, and the same happened again, I lost the tail on all my cut backs. I was out! 6th place, absolutely gutted! The double elimination didn't get finished as the wind died off. Well done to Justyna coming 1st, Sara 2nd and Lucy Robson 3rd, and also thank you to all the judges and especially Nigel Tracey for organising such a good event!
I then sailed downwind and got some better waves, making myself feel better! Saturday was windier and slightly wavier once everyone from the competition had left. I had a really fun sail on my own board (69l with K4 fins) and 4.7, getting some really nice waves and hits, and only falling a couple of times-it made me feel so much better and that I can actually windsurf! I was just disappointed that I hadn't realised early enough to change equipment in the heats. You live and you learn! I guess I also need to practise in tiny waves too to learn to make the most of them! I also realised that competition sailing is very different to my normal style, which is go hard crash a lot and slowly improve. I need to work out a safer riding technique for competitions so I don't lose all my points, especially focusing on making every turn! Here are some pics from the end of Saturday's session. I think the tide got a little high by the time we got the camera out so again, we didn't capture the best action as the waves went a little tiny!

We stayed a couple more days in Ireland, taking another walk in the mountains and another surf, before heading to York to see Stef's family. I'm now back home working again for a few weeks before I head to Pozo to train for the first PWA competition!
